Request for Enhancement: Request Builder for API

[niall-munnelly]

I'd love to see a "stub" action that presents a formatted http URI based on a command entered in rd; it would be a fast and dependable way to build requests for users who don't have access to the rd CLI tool (CI:CD pipelines, that sort of thing), including argStrings, headers, etc. Something analogous to how rd-acl would print an ACL policy based on the desired access.

This might not deliver a lot of ROI when we have tools like Postman to build the requests in a structured way; it's just a thought. Thanks!

do you mean a way to generate and show API endpoint URL corresponding to a particular rd command?

Yeah, like how postman can present a request in a few different formats. I concede that this is open-ended, and that not everyone wants cURL syntax, but I reckon every bit helps. It’s potentially faster and more accurate than building requests piecemeal while reading the docs, etc. Feel free to push back. ;)
