Is your feature request related to a problem?
Problem in the sense of wanting it to replace my current editor (VS Code).
The main two features of VS Code I use day-to-day are the git integration (already covered by an issue) and the rest client extension (https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient).
Describe the solution you'd like
The rest client extension allows me to test any endpoint in a clear succinct manner that's code agnostic. In a past life I would've kept a collection of curl calls. People share Postman collections today but I prefer this mainly for local development while developing.
If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature
No response
A REST client seems something that should be a shipped-but-disabled-by-default plugin like Blender does with a lot of things? That way it won't clutter the UI and increase startup times for people who don't need it (i.e. most people who don't do web dev) but is still easy to toggle on for those who do.

Do you have an issue with improving zed infrastructure for this?
