write response to file

[reisman234]

I make request against an API which send larger files back, to prevent that everything goes into the response output window. It would be nice to have an Option to save the response body from the request directly to a file.

There is vscode setting, which control response size, above that limit, it will hide the response and show save to file

You can also save any response to file

[rangav]

I added more size options in v2.0.1, and change the default size to 2MB

I tested now the first download with a smaller file, which comes not near that that Response Limit.

At first, it seems the data is correct, but to verify that, I want to compare it with the origin file. I tried to use Save to File Button but nothing happens, is this a bug?

[rangav]

It looks like png image, can you share response headers screenshot?

[reisman234]

At the moment, I took not much effort what the headers are, maybe that could be the missing point.

[rangav]

There is no content-type header in response, that’s why it’s not displaying.

[rangav]

Do you have test url so I can test and see if there is any fix for this?

[reisman234]

I think the content type is really missing, when I test it with an public available image it makes a preview and the save to file button works.

I tested now the download of a larger binary file (~1Gi), but now the request stuck in a processing state. On my Resource monitor I can see the download activity, but after that ends nothing happen (sill processing, also after 30 min).

The header which I send via uvicorn is:

{'Accept-Ranges': 'bytes', 'Content-Length': '1241985027', 'Content-Security-Policy': 'block-all-mixed-content', 'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream', 'ETag': '"3c22ffe6ee8c8d5c364eca47238804f5-75"', 'Last-Modified': 'Wed, 23 Nov 2022 20:28:02 GMT', 'No-Gzip-Compression': 'true', 'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains', 'Vary': 'Origin, Accept-Encoding', 'X-Amz-Request-Id': '172AC89C2E590B1E', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'X-Xss-Protection': '1; mode=block', 'Date': 'Fri, 25 Nov 2022 09:06:25 GMT'}

The download with curl and the "--output" parameter works without problems.

The green field is the network activity

[rangav]

Are you downloading 1GB file? Not sure this API Client works with very large files.

Is it part of API testing? or just the using it for all use-cases.

[reisman234]

For me, it is just a test for my API, which returns larger binary files.

Ok got it, Please create a new feature request, will add to roadmap

[reisman234]

ok, I will do that!
