Echo Server

HarborClient plugin that runs a local httpbin-style HTTP echo server inside the app.

Features

• Footer panel Echo server with port configuration, start/stop controls, and a request script editor
• Status indicator in the footer bar showing whether the server is active
• Optional request script using the same hc API as collection pre-request scripts
• Sets the global variable echoBaseUrl (for example http://localhost:4335) when the server starts

Permissions

• ui — footer panel, status bar item, and host global variable command
• ipc — renderer ↔ main coordination for start/stop/status
• server — local express echo server in the Electron main process

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build

Load the unpacked plugin directory from HarborClient Settings → Plugins → Load unpacked.

Request script

When the script returns a value, that JSON is sent as the response body. When it returns nothing (or is empty), the server responds with the default echo payload:

• args, data, files, form, headers, json, origin, url

Example:

hc.request.method;
// return custom body:
({ message: 'hello', method: hc.request.method });
