Preview request? #193

Open jenstroeger opened 3 years ago

jenstroeger commented 3 years ago

While the env command is somewhat useful it would be nice to preview a request before sending it… perhaps a show or dump or req command would be helpful?

Most simple one is to type httpie which shows the http commandline it will create and run. That's the preview you are looking for?

@spex66… well, not quite. That’s the preview of the httpie command but it’d be nice to see a preview of the actual request itself. That may be difficult though, considering that http-prompt delegates the request generation to httpie or curl 🤔
