HTTP Requests | API Building
What's the Problem?

Solution/Idea
It'd be so cool if DevToys had a section called "Requests" where you can make all kinds of HTTP requests (GET, POST, etc.) and it'd nicely display results. It'd make API Building process so nice and sweet (totally in love with DevToy's stunning design!). Maybe even support making and using collections like in Postman so you can share them but even without collections, supporting making HTTP requests would make me have DevToys opened all the time along with my editor while writing code for back-end.
Alternatives
Postman, Postwoman, Insomnia, etc. these are nice API builders but DevToys design is astonishing and API building using DevToys would feel much nicer and comfier I believe.
Priorities
| Capability | Priority |
|---|---|
| Make HTTP request | Must |
| Setting query parameters, headers, body content for a request | Must |
| Viewing response's status, body and headers | Must |
| Making a collection, exporting it and importing one | Could |

Hello, Thanks for this feedback. I agree with @xeonmc . DevToys aims at staying completely offline. Having features that require an internet connection should stay optional (not even shipped by default). At this moment, we can't make third-part extensions in DevToys. We are thinking about it for a v2.0.
Not sure if allowed, but perhaps consider Nightingale Rest Client instead? It is built by a Microsoft developer and works really well.

@xeonmc @veler understood ✌️
@BenConstable9 that app looks nice, that's for sure, but I don't feel like swapping Postman with it. OTOH, DevToy's design is marvelous enough that I'd use it if it had features I need from Postman 😅
@xeonmc, @veler, the volume of requests that involve the internet capabilities makes that WebToys suggestion worth proper discussion. Perhaps as a literal discussion, where these issues can be referenced and centralised for later consideration, when the DevToys release surge has abated?
