Converts automatically as you type — nothing leaves your browser.

Going the other way? cURL → .httpCommon questions
How do I convert a .http request to cURL?
Paste the request above — it's parsed in your browser into a ready-to-run cURL command. A file with several ###-separated requests produces one curl per request.
Does it resolve @variables and {{refs}}?
Yes. File-level @name declarations are substituted everywhere they're referenced, so the command comes out with real values, not placeholders.
Will the cURL command run on Windows?
The output is POSIX/bash quoted, so it runs as-is in Git Bash, WSL, PowerShell, macOS, and Linux. On Windows cmd, swap the trailing \ for ^.
Is my .http request uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — nothing you paste leaves your machine.
Keep your requests as .http files.
Karve is a native Windows workspace for .http files — organize them across repos and run them without leaving the app.
