What does HackerNews think of vim-http-client?

If you are using vim, you could try this one https://github.com/aquach/vim-http-client. I have been using it for some time and it has worked well. Use in your local file system, integrates well with vim but I had to fork it since it didn't had a timeout setting.

There are really goods suggestions in this thread, I just made a compilation of all the links posted (at this time):

I have moved from postman to https://github.com/aquach/vim-http-client and have never looked back ever since, its opens in vim and has variables to store values and can store comments too in a .txt file along with the http calls. Give this a try if you are using vim.

I've always used a client inside my editor:

- vim: https://github.com/aquach/vim-http-client

- emacs: https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el

Seems to me it's hard to overcome the advantage of being able to immediately work with and edit response data. What are the major advantages of these standalone clients?
