I used the old RequestBin - it was a great tool. But always returning 200 OK, was making it difficult for me to use. Some integrations/webhook need a specific response body otherwise they fail.

I ended up creating https://putsreq.com, so I could programmatically configure my responses.

Are you planning to allow custom responses in this new version of RequestBin?

Something that I learned with PutsReq: throttling is a must. PutsReq is very often "bombarded" with Salesforce webhook calls (probably because of some non-sense retry logic).

Thanks for the comment and we agree with the need for custom responses. We are working on a more advanced tool than RequestBin to solve this use case and hope to share it more broadly soon. We have been bombarded with webhook calls and intelligently handle throttling if necessary today.
