Use .http files in Visual Studio 2022

.http files are a new feature in Visual Studio 2022 that allow you to send HTTP requests to your web applications and APIs. They are a convenient way to test your applications and APIs, and they can also be used to document your API endpoints.

To create a .http file, right-click on your project in Solution Explorer and select Add — New Item. In the Add New Item dialog, select ASP.NET Core —General — HTTP File, and then click Add.

A new .http file will be created in your project. The file will contain a basic HTTP request. You can edit the request to specify the HTTP method, URL, headers, and body.



To send the request, click the Run button in the toolbar. The response from the server will be displayed in the Response window.


.http files can be used to test both local and remote web applications and APIs. To test a local application, you will need to start the application before sending the request.

.http files can also be used to document your API endpoints. You can use comments in the .http file to describe the purpose of each endpoint.
.http files are a powerful tool for testing and documenting your web applications and APIs. They are a convenient way to send HTTP requests and they can be used to document your API endpoints.
Here are some additional tips for using .http files:

* You can use variables in .http files to make your requests more dynamic. For example, you could use a variable to specify the ID of a record that you want to retrieve.
* You can use request headers to control the behavior of your request. For example, you could use the Accept header to specify the content type that you expect to receive in the response.
* You can use the Body property to specify the body of your request. The body can contain text, JSON, XML, or binary data.
* You can use the Response window to view the response from the server. The response includes the HTTP status code, headers, and body.
* You can use the Save As dialog to save your .http files to a file system location. This allows you to share your .http files with other developers.

Sample test API and code
@baseurl=https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com
#This user get method
GET {{baseurl}}/users
###
#Post method
POST {{baseurl}}/posts
Content-Type: application/json
{
"title": "New Post",
"body": "This is the content of the new post.",
"userId": 1
}

.http files can be used to test both local and remote web applications and APIs.
.http files can be used to document your API endpoints.
Here are some examples of how you can use .http files:

You can use .http files to test your web applications and APIs before they are deployed to production.
You can use .http files to automate your web application and API testing.
You can use .http files to document your API endpoints so that other developers can easily understand how to use them

Unsupported syntax
The Visual Studio 2022 .http file editor doesn't have all the features that the Visual Studio Code REST Client extension has. The following list includes some of the more significant features available only in the Visual Studio Code extension:

Optional HTTP method
Request line that spans more than one line
Named requests
Dynamic variables
Environment files
Specify file path as body of the request
Mixed format for body when using multipart/form-data
GraphQL requests
cURL request
Copy/paste as cURL
Request history
Save response body to file
Certificate based authentication
Prompt variables
System variables
Customize response preview
Per-request settings
The Visual Studio 2022 .http file editor is still in preview, and some of these features might be added in the future.
