vim-rest-console VS httpbin

vim-rest-console[0] has been my Postman alternative for years. It basically wraps curl and makes it super easy to make different requests from a single text file. Can even write YAML and have it converted to JSON before being sent in the body. Really great tool

Been using vim-rest-console to request web services or an elasticsearch cluster.

Been using vim-rest-console for a while. You can set variables, cURL options and enable http headers to get result highlighting.

That's pretty cool. I've been using vim-rest-console for ages for this type of thing, but looking at this, maybe I should just roll my own, since that project seems to be unmaintained at this point.

policyDefinitions: cors: origin: "${CLIENT_URL}" endpoints: - path: "/example" target: url: "https://httpbin.org/bearer" request: headers: Authorization: "Bearer ${API_KEY}" policies: - cors

We proceed to define routes to https://httpbin.org/ to test our setup. Let's call the route to /get:

https://httpbin.org/ is an excellent tool for learning (and testing) the basics. Take a few minutes to explore the endpoints they provide. You can also use different response codes to test your apps error handling, etc
