Emacs had something like this long ago (of course it did).

I also like httpie but they seem to have gone commercial.

I use emacs restclient all the time. I have requests saved in my orgmode notes that I can run with a simple C-c C-c. It's great.

Ya I babel all sorts of things. I have sql queries saved in my notes for things like creating a user after I reset the project locally. Common rest queries. I create an orgmode heading for every ticket I pick up and often end up with rest and/or sql queries littered in the notes for testing and development and I can run them right from the notes and when I'm done with the ticket I can just copy/paste them into the pull request description to fill out the manual test steps for those reviewing.
