HTTPie for Web & Desktop 2023.3.0

🪆 Use variables recursively

Referencing a variable from another variable’s value? Why not‽ HTTPie now resolves variables recursively to help you keep your Spaces DRY.

✏️ Edit names inline

Quickly change the name of a request or collection with a double click. Just like that. Simple.

💾 Save body as file

You could always copy the request and response body. Now you can also save it as a file directly from the client.

🔃 Re-order variables

HTTPie orders your variables by the creation time by default. Now you can use any ordering system that makes sense for your variables.

🔁 Re-order environments

And you can now re-order environments as well 🪷

✨ Other enhancements

• Collection and request names now may be up to ~40~ 80 characters long.
• Numerous under-the-hood stability and performance improvements.

HTTPie for Terminal 3.2.2

HTTPie for Terminal v3.2.2 is now available 🎉 This version fixes compatibility with urllib3 2.0.

🤗 Happy API testing, and see you again soon!
