Paw – macOS HTTP client for testing and describing APIs

Insomnia looks nice, but by default it does not format URLs as links, so in a HATEOAS API you can't follow links.

Am I just missing a setting here? Seems like this is a fairly big omission, Postman even supports copying over your headers (e.g. auth token) when you follow a link.

Insomnia founder here. It now does format links but it opens them in your default browser instead of making a new request. That's definitely on the to-do list.

Also, if you want it sooner, Insomnia is open source so it's possible to help grow the project. I think the only other app that's open source is Advanced REST Client but it's still a Chrome app (I think).
