Inquiry About Gradle Dependency for Generating .http Files in IntelliJ IDEA Plugin Development
Dear IntelliJ IDEA Development Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am a plugin developer for IntelliJ IDEA, and I am currently working on a project that involves generating .http files programmatically within the IDEA environment. I would like to inquire if there is any official Gradle dependency or API provided by IntelliJ IDEA that can assist in the generation or manipulation of .http files.
Specifically, I am looking for a way to automate the creation of .http files, which are commonly used for HTTP request testing within the IDE. My goal is to programmatically generate these files as part of my plugin, ensuring they adhere to the format used by the IntelliJ HTTP client.
Could you please provide any guidance on whether such a dependency or API is available, or if there are any recommended practices for this task? Any relevant documentation or pointers to the appropriate resources would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Hi,
I don't know what use cases you need to implement, but I would start with simple textual creating of
.httpfiles with the required content. The IDE with the HTTP Client plugin installed should parse it properly.To browser and use the APIs of the HTTP Client plugin, add a dependency on com.jetbrains.restClient.
