Usually, I use Postman for doing REST requests.
But from time to time, Postman takes a long time to start or it crashes.
So I had a look into VS Code with REST Client.
It's straight forward to use it. Please find a short tutorial here.
I'm developing on my laptop and also on a VM.
The VM is required to access systems of the client that are running on-premise or in VNet in the cloud.
My local machine connects through VPN to VM.
Often, I do need to develop in the VM via RDP.
By using UnitTests and Mocks it's possible to do this on my local machine. I just need the repositories.
So, I'm not able to REST Client from my local machine, but I can use cURL.
On my VM (Windows 10), WSL is running.
I connect with ssh from my local machine to the VM.
ssh markusm@10...
Then I execute
wsl
From VS Code, I Copy Request as cURL:
And paste it into my terminal on my local machine.
Curl on WSL:
