I am handcrafting increasingly more adhoc HTTP requests that I need to sometimes re-use.<p>The way I do it now is just by writing cURL that I keep in a notebook. However, I was wondering if there are more advanced CLI based HTTP clients I should consider that make it easier to inspect request/response?
PostMan's the standard, in my experience. But if you use VSCode, I recommend Thunder Client instead. It's more or less identical to PostMan, but integrated into VSCode as an extension, which is nice if you're already spending a lot of time in that IDE anyway.
httpie is what people use on the command line as far as I know.<p>Personally, I prefer using Postman or ThunderClient. They're bloated but featureful.
