When Request Body is loaded from a binary file, don't show the binary data in the body viewer #19

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It's not really useful to display the binary data as text.

Revision 216 will not allow binary files to be loaded. The error message 
displayed:

*IOError: File not in supported encoding (UTF-8)*

This will affect the following screens:

1. Body content loading from file.
2. Test script loading from file.
3. Multi-header loading from file.
3. Multi-parameter loading from file.

Of course, we expect content from text files in all these cases.

I don't understand - are you saying that RESTclient won't be able to send 
binary content in a request body, at 
all? That wouldn't be great...

Yes, for now there will be this limitation. Probably in the next major 
revision, when
we revise the storage format (now request and response are stored as XML), we 
will be
able to support that.

A Limitations page has been added:

Moving this request to low priority.

Planning to have a "Ignore Response Body" checkbox. This will not show the 
response body in the UI. Useful for validating response code, headers etc.

r599 has the checkbox to Ignore Response Body.
