Tried to use vim as a REST client. What do I miss?

• rest.nvim

Compared to Postman or Insomnia, I feel like I miss environmental variables (common keys or headers). This vim-rest-plugin seems to have the option of setting up variables too (I didn't try it though).

For environment variables, I think direnv may be useful. With direnv, you can have a .envdir file in a directory, and if you start Vim/neovim from that dir, then it should have the specified environment variables available.
