Would be great to be able to use it with the hurl format to have a GUI for hurl: https://hurl.dev/docs/hurl-file.html

I'm going to explore integration with other formats in the future. Right now there's experimental (incomplete) support for importing from OpenAPI v3. I'd like to add Postman and Insomnia collection importing too. Some kind of integration with Hurl could be very nice too, but would likely come further down the line.

Please, allow using flat file http messages. IntelliJ has a great build in http client that's using HTTP message files and otherwise has a similar feature set. But having to launch intellij every time is a real PITA.

I was going to post almost this exact comment. When I've got an Intellij IDE already open, it's the best tool for this job - and that's saying a lot as we've been developing HTTP clients for decades. But I often find myself banging out a curl command with too many -H clauses if nothing Jetbrains is already running.

For those who haven't used the Jetbrains HTTP client recently: maybe two or three years ago it was completely replaced and has been improved continuously since. Give it a try.
