I would like to make a Pull request for this feature😄

curl lets you see everything it sends already with

curl -vvv www.example.com
# or
curl --trace-ascii - www.example.com

I agree that it would be pretty fun if we had this feature, but I'm curious what you want to use this for. Is there a specific use-case you have in mind?

vscode have many http-client-tool to send http requests with dynamic variable , but almost all of them use raw http format . It will be very helpful to me if curlconverter plugin can auto convert curl to raw http format.

That's unfortunate, because the VS Code extension is running an old version because we made curlconverter an ESM module, and VS Code extensions can't use ESM modules https://github.com/curlconverter/curlconverter-vscode/issues/1

If I can use curlconverter to generate code from web, it will be ok to be 😄
