HTTPie for Web & Desktop

ℹ️ OPTIONS method

One more option in the method select — 🥁 — OPTIONS!

You can use OPTIONS to request information about the communication options available on a given URL or server.

🔑 API key auth through parameters

We recently introduced a way to authenticate requests using a custom API key header. Now we’re expanding this auth type with the option to send the API key as a URL parameter:

This allows you to specify your auth at the collection level and have HTTPie add it to the URL automatically.

✍🏻 Font improvements

As with everything else, we continue to improve the monospace variant of our font, and this time we focused on making the 0 and O characters more distinct:

🪲 Bug fixes

• You probably didn’t encounter this, but if you typed fast while having multiple HTTPie browser tabs, the text would start flashing. Fixed!
• Some generated headers (e.g., Content-Type) weren’t displayed in some preview formats. Now they are.
• Inherited auth was also missing from the preview in some cases.
• Draft requests created via the global + button could lose their name.
• Fixed an app crash in case of invisible characters in the URL.
