Invoking a web script from a web browser

One of the easiest ways to invoke a web script is through a web browser. This is a convenient option for everyone. A web browser is a common client everyone generally uses to invoke a web script to test it while developing web scripts.

Every HTTP GET web script you develop can simply be executed from a web browser by just hitting the web script URL. If any authentication is required for the web script, then an authentication pop up will appear to provide the authentication details.
