https Test Site for Rest Requests using HTTPAPI

[TheZenbudda]

I've been googling for quite some time and have failed to find a good test site for coding an RPG program (using HTTPAPI) that handles https with authentication (which I assume means I need to grab a public certificate and install it on our system). We currently have a product that handles UPS tracking (which also includes the LIBHTTP library) so I know we have all the necessary licenses/ptfs to handle SSL/TLS. I'm looking to perform simple get/post requests hopefully using json.

Not sure what you're looking for, here? What kind of authentication? Why do you need a "test site"?

with basic authentication.

What kind of authentication?

Basic

Why do you need a "test site"?

To test my RPG code against an external https server.

I would suggest testing it against the web service you plan to call. I've never heard of anyone setting up a site just for the purpose of testing basic authentication. This would require someone investing in the setup and maintenance of a web server just to test something simple that's built-in to all HTTP tools. Who would want to pay for that?
