As of a few hours after this post, I've given up trying to get Puppet Master running on Snow Leopard. There appears to be an issue with the SSL certificates generated that's preventing puppetd from getting it's recipes. There doesn't appear to be any way to disable this. ...

I wasn't able to find anything that I liked. I basically wanted a front end for curl with bookmarks.
Check out my cleverly named Api Tester. No docs yet, but I hope it's self explanatory. Click the plus on the bottom left to add a bookmark. ...
