Sublime Text 2 plugin to facilitate testing of HTTP APIs using raw HTTP. This is particularly handy when working with JSON APIs that return large data sets, as sublime has built-in features that make the JSON more readable.

Drop the files in a package directory of your choice in your sublime packages directory.
If you do a git clone, that would be (in the Packages dir):
$ git clone https://github.com/mattness/sublime-http-helper.git HttpHelper
Open a new file in sublime and paste your raw HTTP request into it. Wikipedia has a good example:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Open sublime's console window (Ctrl + `), and enter
view.run_command('http_helper'). HttpHelper will open a socket to the
host specified in the Host: header on port 80 and send the request. When the
response is received, HttpHelper will open a new window containing the
response body.
You can add the http_helper command to your *.sublime-keymap file(s) with the following:
{
"keys": ["ctrl+alt+h"], "command": "http_helper"
}
Be sure to choose a keybinding that is convenient and does not interfere with anything else.
