What online REST API workbenches are available?

When creating a site/script to be on the client end of a RESTful API, what tools are available to create a "workbench" to explore the API, examining headers and responses while working through the design? Preferably one(s) that allow you to enter a custom endpoint, and create sample requests to see the responses. I recall seeing one nice workbench before, but its name has escaped me.

If you have the wadl file of the ReST Services, you can load it in SOAP UI and use it.

Another much simpler tool Rest Client

Mashery's I/O Docs is an open source workbench that you can deploy yourself on a Node.js server with Redis for storage.

Re-found the one I remembered: The Apigee Console is a great interface for playing around with an existing API or building your own.
