IDEA HTTP Request 真香

领导想 POSTMAN 建个组，这样就能共享请求了，结果只能加5个，超了得交钱，我说，何不 IDEA HTTP Request 呢，据说很香。

一些例子

GET

GET http://localhost:8090/persons/all

HTTP header, you can include them with the other headers

GET http://localhost:8090/persons/all
Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.9
Authorization:BasicQWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
Cookie: name=value; name2=value2; name3=value3

Adding body

POST http://localhost:8090/persons/add/
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "name": "JohnDoe",
    "age": 29
}

File upload

POST http://localhost:8090/persons/add/
Content-Type: application/json

< person.json

Environmental variables

rest-client.env.json

{
   "local":{
      "host":"localhost"
   },
   "development":{
      "host":"dev.example.com"
   },
   "production":{
      "host":"example.com"
   }
}

GET http://{{host}}:8090/persons/all/

Live templates

Testing Responses

可以使用 client and response.

GET https://www.vojtechruzicka.com/

> {%
client.test("Request executed successfully", function() {
  client.assert(response.status === 200, "Response status is not 200");
});
%}

GET https://www.vojtechruzicka.com/

> {%
client.test("Request executed successfully", function() {
  client.log("Look, I can log!");
  client.assert(response.status === 200, "Response status is not 200");
  client.assert(response.contentType.charset === "UTF-8", "Unexpected content type - charset");
  client.assert(response.contentType.mimeType === "text/html", "Unexpected content type - MIME type");
  client.assert(response.headers.valueOf("x-frame-options") === "DENY", "Frame options not set to DENY");
  client.assert(response.body.indexOf("Vojtech") !== -1, "Expected body to contain 'Vojtech'");
});
%}

Preserving data between requests

GET https://www.example.com/auth
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "token": "secret-token"
}

> {%
client.global.set("token", response.body.json.token);
%}

GET https://www.example.com/foo
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}

Converting cURL requests

Since version 2019.2, you can easily convert your existing cURL requests to the format supported by IntelliJ IDEA. All you need to do is to paste a cURL reuest like this to the editor of Intellij's HTTP client:

curl -X POST http://www.example.com/login/ -d 'username=joe&password=1234'

It will be automatically converted to the format supported by IDEA:

POST http://www.example.com/login/
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

username=joe&password=1234

Pretty cool, right? Alternatively you can go through the menu:

Tools → HTTP Client → Convert cURL to HTTP Request

HTTP Proxy

In case you need HTTP proxy for your calls, both clients share proxy settings of the whole IDE, which can be configured under Appearance & Behavior → System Settings → HTTP Proxy.

History

What's cool is that IDEA automatically stores the history of all the requests you performed (up to 50 items). It is available from Tools → HTTP Client → Show HTTP Requests history. What it actually does is that it opens a file called http-requests-log.http in .idea/httpRequests folder. It can look something like this:

POST http://localhost:8090/persons/add
Content-Type: application/json
< C:/_MY/rest-demo/person.json
<> 2018-01-11T032255.200.txt
GET http://localhost:8090/persons/all
<> 2018-01-11T115612.200.json
