Postman v0.9.6 – Access cookies and restricted headers. Plus better tests!
Blog post from Postman
The release of version 0.9.6 of Postman introduces significant improvements, addressing previous limitations that hindered some developers from upgrading due to restrictions on browser cookies and XMLHttpRequest headers. These enhancements allow developers to test APIs that use cookie-based authentication schemes, thanks to the new Postman Interceptor extension, which facilitates communication between Chrome apps, extensions, and web pages via Chrome's message passing API. The update requires new permissions and enables the modification of previously blocked headers such as Date and User-Agent, simplifying API testing and aligning more closely with the functionality of the legacy app. Additionally, improvements have been made for the Jetpacks upgrade, allowing access to environment and global variables through dedicated dictionaries, although modifying variables still requires the setEnvironmentVariable function. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the packaged app for its enhanced capabilities, with further tutorials and documentation updates promised.
