Re: [Ftpapi] Free SOAP and REST Web Services for testing

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glad it is not just me Scott!

I have danged to find several REST services - but SOAP is a much bigger problem.  Was thinking along the same lines as you but for credit card security reasons we keep all ports but the basic HTTP/S ones locked down behind the VPN so that presents problems.

We do have a tiny teaching partition that is pretty much wide open - maybe once the current crises I'm dealing wth are past I will set a few services up.
