          I tried the suggestion and saw that the original complaint persisted.

          I didn’t expect anything to be honest.

          I think they’re point is that curl is great but then you have to have a way to render it to know if it’s correct. With apis you can use jq, but yeah a dump of html isn’t really useful to humans

            Yeah but we’re talking about API tools, not web browsers. People are using postman to see JSON, XML, or whatever horrible format the devs on the other side chose to use, not to render HTML graphically. If you query an HTML page using curl, you should get the HTML back, I don’t see what’s the problem
