Insomnia: [Bug] Large responses freeze the app

Created on 2 Jun 2017 · 2Comments · Source: Kong/insomnia

Hello,

Requests that are more than 10 mb will stop the application and virtually disable it. I have a service that returns a large volume of data, and since I made the first call, the application hangs and keeps asking me to reboot, now I can not use it anymore. I've already removed and reinstalled the software, but it did not work. I imagine that as soon as it opens the application, it redoes the last request. I'm in the last version.

Could you take a look?

I really like the software, I would not want to stop using it.

Hi @andreworks,

For a temporary fix to this, you can delete Insomnia/insomnia.Response.db from the following location.

%APPDATA% on Windows
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config on Linux
~/Library/Application Support on macOS

This will clear out all response data for the app. I plan on adding improvements for large file handling soon to help prevent this issue in the future.
