Is your Proposal Related to a Problem?

Yes, currently the REST operator requires URL, method, body, and headers separately. If a user has a curl command (or a HAR file), they need to manually write an equivalent configuration in the operator format.

Describe Your Proposed Improvement

Add support for cURL and/or HAR file requests in the REST operator, so that it can just take one text input and perform the HTTP request.

Highlight the Benefits

REST operator becomes more versatile and easy to use.
