+# Fronsetia #
+
+Fronsetia (Free Online Service Testing Application) is a web application that allows testing webservices.
+
+Fronsetia allows you to:
+
+- read WSDL definitions,
+- send customised requests to the webservice,
+- override or remove the standard HTTP headers from the request to be sent,
+- set any other HTTP header you wish,
+- set the protocol name and version,
+- use protocol methods other than the regular POST,
+- set the sent Content-Type,
+- authenticate to the webservice,
+- use a proxy and authenticate to the proxy,
+- accept any TLS/SSL certificate (useful for test environments),
+- manually set the SOAP content (prologue, headers, body and the XML before them, after them and in between),
+- set the character set of the request,
+- view the SOAP response,
+- view the response's HTTP code and status line,
+- view the response's HTTP headers,
+- verify if there was a SOAP Fault in the response,
+- pretty-print the response by splitting it after closing tags.
+
+You can think of Fronsetia as a simple version of SoapUI
+(<https://www.soapui.org/>) on the web, or a simple and free and
+open-source version of the wls_utc utility (but less powerful -
+for example, it doesn't interpret the service's schema to provide
+separate fields for various parameters).
+
+Features:
+
+- supports Web Services Description Language (WSDL),
+- supports Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP),
+- supports Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP),
+- supports HTTP Authentication,
+- supports the same versions of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) as the server the application will be running on,
+- supports HTTP Proxying,
+- portable and system-independent.
+
+Fronsetia was previously called SOAPServiceTester.
