HttPlaceholder lets you stub away any HTTP webservice.
It was thought up while I was working at a company which had many interconnected webservices. The development process was very painful, because it meant all the other webservices should also be started on my local dev PC, or I had to use the "development" environment, which did not work for half of the time. HttPlaceholder fills this gap nicely.
