Like in ordinary HTTP requests, the request body and responses are plain JSON files. The HTTP client now provides completion for gRPC: all known gRPC services, unary and server-streaming methods of a particular server, and, most importantly, fields of accepted messages in the request body.Ĭurrently the supported RPC types that can be executed in the HTTP client are unary and server-streaming. Simply start your requests with the GRPC keyword to have the HTTP client treat them as gRPC requests.

Starting with v2021.3, IntelliJ IDEA’s HTTP client supports gRPC requests.

Let’s take a more detailed look at these new features. We added support for gRPC requests, output redirection to a custom file or directory, support for text and JSON streams, support for HTTP request identifiers, and support for binary responses. In this release cycle we have significantly improved the IntelliJ IDEA HTTP client. Please note that all the features that we will highlight in this blog post are available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate only. A new EAP build of IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3 is here! Take a look at the new features and improvements it brings, such as an enhanced HTTP client, support for the Qute template language, Kotlin support for CDI, and much more.
