So, I do a lot of work with ajax/json or RESTful services exposed to the an HTML/JS or Flex client. When testing such services, I find it very useful to develop and test them in isolation from the client to make sure things work as they should. Then I can wrap the service calls in whatever client logic is appropriate.
A great tool for quickly testing these services is the REST client Firefox plugin. It allows you to enter the HTTP method, URL, headers and a body then issue your request. You can examine the response header and body to make sure things work as they should.
If you haven't used this plugin and are doing this kind of development, give it a try. I think you will definitely find it a time saver.
