showing curl command config not working

[JanikvA]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to the latest version and the configuration which shows the actual curl command that is run in the background is not working anymore.

my config in lazy:

return {
  {
    "vhyrro/luarocks.nvim",
    priority = 1000,
    config = true,
    opts = {
      rocks = { "lua-curl", "nvim-nio", "mimetypes", "xml2lua" }, -- Specify LuaRocks packages to install
    },
  },
  {
    "rest-nvim/rest.nvim",
    ft = "http",
    dependencies = { "luarocks.nvim" },
    -- keys = {
    --   { "<leader>rc", "<cmd>Rest run<cr>", decs = "Run request under the cursor" },
    -- },
    config = function()
      require("rest-nvim").setup({
        client = "curl",
        env_file = ".env",
        env_pattern = "\\.env$",
        env_edit_command = "tabedit",
        encode_url = true,
        skip_ssl_verification = false,
        custom_dynamic_variables = {},
        logs = {
          level = "info",
          save = true,
        },
        result = {
          split = {
            horizontal = false,
            in_place = false,
            stay_in_current_window_after_split = true,
          },
          behavior = {
            decode_url = true,
            show_info = {
              url = true,
              headers = true,
              http_info = true,
              curl_command = true,
            },
            statistics = {
              enable = true,
              ---@see https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_getinfo.html
              stats = {
                { "total_time", title = "Time taken:" },
                { "size_download_t", title = "Download size:" },
              },
            },
            formatters = {
              json = "jq",
              html = function(body)
                if vim.fn.executable("tidy") == 0 then
                  return body, { found = false, name = "tidy" }
                end
                local fmt_body = vim.fn
                  .system({
                    "tidy",
                    "-i",
                    "-q",
                    "--tidy-mark",
                    "no",
                    "--show-body-only",
                    "auto",
                    "--show-errors",
                    "0",
                    "--show-warnings",
                    "0",
                    "-",
                  }, body)
                  :gsub("\n$", "")

                return fmt_body, { found = true, name = "tidy" }
              end,
            },
          },
        },
        highlight = {
          enable = true,
          timeout = 750,
        },
        keybinds = {
          {
            "<leader>rc",
            "<cmd>Rest run<cr>",
            "Run request under the cursor",
          },
        },
      })
    end,
  },
}

When I set everything to false in the result.behavior.show_info section nothing changes so this seems broken? (Note: When I e.g. change result.split.horizontal to true the result window is split horizontally instead of vertically so my config seems to be loaded correctly.)

Hi there!

Please check out :h rest-nvim-usage-commands or removed features section from my blog post.

tl;dr

As seen in the plugin's README, we no longer use plenary.nvim's cURL implementation (which was buggy and error-prone). Now we use native bindings to libcURL, so we call cURL directly at the code level instead of calling the curl command like a wrapper. This change prevents that feature from existing anymore, since it is totally impossible because we no longer invoke the curl command.

That's unfortunate. it was useful to send these curl commands to colleagues when debugging failing calls.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification!
