Trying to setup options in httpResult buffer

[davidsierradz]

Hi, nice plugin!

I'm trying to change the foldmethod option for httpResult buffer with different strategies:

Creating a file in stdpath("config")/ftplugin/httpResult.vim (or after/ftplugin/httpResult.vim) with setlocal foldmethod=indent (and verifying that is executed, with :scriptnames)

Adding an autocommand with autocmd FileType httpResult set foldmethod=indent

The only way I could make it happen was modifying the plugin source code:

diff --git lua/rest-nvim/curl/init.lua lua/rest-nvim/curl/init.lua
index 7de0b9c..10fb302 100644

   vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(new_bufnr, "buftype", "nofile")

Any ideas how this could work?

Even better would be if I could use json treesitter highlighting and folding in the httpResult buffer, but I guess it would be more difficult (making a httpResult treesitter parser and inject the json parser).

Thank you.

also interested in setting options for this buffer, why didnt ftplugin nor autocommand work? I tried those too
