HTTP File Generator

Generate .http files from OpenAPI specifications

.http files were made popular by the Visual Studio Code extension REST Client, which then was adopted by JetBrains IDE's, and later on Visual Studio 2022

Usage

From the Tools menu select Generate .http files

This opens the main dialog which has similar input fields as the CLI tool and shells out to the Rust httpgenerator.exe executable.

The extension resolves httpgenerator.exe from HTTPGENERATOR_PATH, the bundled VSIX payload, repo-root workspace target\debug / target\release outputs during development, or PATH.

You can supply Azure Entra ID tenant and scope settings by clicking on the ... button beside the Authorization Headers input field. The Rust CLI acquires the access token during generation.

By default, the Output folder is pre-filled with the path of the currently active C# Project in the Solution Explorer, suffixed with \HttpFiles

Once the .http files are generated you can easily open and inspect them
