If you want to submit a POST request   You have to set the    request header    section of the Firefox plugin to have a    name         Content-Type    and    value         application x-www-form-urlencoded    Now  you are able to submit parameter like    name mynamehere amp title TA    in the    request body    text area field

You can send the parameters in the URL of the POST request itself    Example URL    localhost 8080 abc getDetails paramter1 value1 amp parameter2 value2   Once you copy such type of URL in Firefox REST client make a POST call to the server you want

Here is a step by step guide  I think this should come pre-loaded with the add-on     In the top menu of RESTClient -  Headers -  Custom Header In the pop-up box  enter Name  Content-Type and Value  application x-www-form-urlencoded  Check the  Save to favorite  box and click Okay  Now you will see a  Headers  section with your newly added data  Then in the Body section  you can enter your data to post like   username test amp name Firstname Lastname  Whenever you want to make a post request  from the Headers main menu  select the Content-Type application x-www-form-urlencoded item that you added and it should work

I tried the methods mentioned in some other answers  but they look like workarounds to me  Using Firefox Add-on RESTclient to send HTTP POST requests with parameters is not straightforward in my opinion  at least for the version I m currently using  2 0 1   Instead  try using other free open source tools  such as Apache JMeter  It is simple and straightforward  see the screenshot as below
