IntelliJ IDEA can generate requests from various places and add them to this scratch file. You can easily execute requests from this file during development to verify that a web service is behaving as expected. If you click the Open in HTTP Client gutter icon next to the sayHello() method, IntelliJ IDEA will generate the GET request and add it to a scratch file named generated-requests.http. In the following example, the sayHello() method is annotated with making it a GET request handler for /hello. Wherever you define a request handling method in your code, IntelliJ IDEA displays a special icon next to it in the gutter. Let’s see how this works in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2020.2. What’s more, you can generate HTTP requests from the source code of your RESTful web service, for example, built with Spring Boot. This means you get full coding assistance for your HTTP requests, including highlighting, completion, refactorings, inline documentation, and so on. The HTTP client in IntelliJ IDEA is built directly into the editor and it is purely text-based. The integrated HTTP client can handle it for you. To test those requests, you could use an external tool, but with IntelliJ IDEA, you don’t need to leave your IDE.
A request handler (for example, a REST controller) is where you define methods that handle requests to specific endpoints. Spring Boot is great for developing web services.
