    100% agree. After postman asked me to make an account I uninstalled it and have been building my own. It's not all wired together yet but I'm using this fork of https://github.com/dylanowen/dot-http/tree/wasm-library

    I wanted something where I could store and share my requests over git instead of creating some random account. I also wanted the api description to be text not a UI+JSON blob.

    I also made this

    I'm the author. I'm not a Go developer though, can you give me an example I can reproduce for `go get` that doesn't work for you?

    For the terminal, there's a few mechanisms, but environment variables are the catch-all there, yes (full list: https://github.com/httptoolkit/httptoolkit-server/blob/maste...). Those do work for most cases, but it is absolutely not a hard guarantee for applications that actively ignore standard proxy configuration (handling that is very hard, and definitely out of scope here).

    Go does generally observes `http_proxy` correctly by default in other cases I've tested, so this vert simple code from the test suite is automatically intercepted for example: https://github.com/httptoolkit/httptoolkit-server/blob/maste.... Very happy to look into any failing cases you can share.
