Support of the --data-binary cURL flag

[Numenorean]

--data-binary is still unsupported while importing request as curl, but it's really annoying to upload raw data as file each time i need to send octet-stream(not an image or smth like that). It will be cool if insomina becomes support that

Example of the curl data

  curl -i -s -k -X $'POST' \
    -H $'User-Agent: xvclient/v21.21.0 (ios; 14.4) ui/11.5.2' -H $'Host: www.expressapisv2.net' -H $'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' -H $'Content-Length: 561' -H $'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H $'Expect: ' -H $'X-Body-Compression: gzip' -H $'X-Signature: 2 NoUU9jzTJ08jAPCJBSsaryVh6BU= 91c776e' -H $'X-Body-Signature: 2 +OQK+d9APfTZCUQQSSG6yGymnjw= 91c776e' -H $'Accept-Language: en' \

[dimitropoulos]

so, (to make sure I understand) you'd like to be able to upload a file to insomnia and send the binary data of that file along with the request?

[Numenorean]

No, it would be cool if insomnia could accept post data in hex representation(or something similar). Probably with the function DecodeHex just in post body

[dimitropoulos]

could you please craft a mockbin.org that will do such a thing and provide an example (just, like, in markdown here is fine) of what insomnia should display it as?

[Numenorean]

I mean feature, which allows me to send raw data (content-type: application/octet-stream). As for now insomnia cant send binary data(when decoding it is decoded with base64)
