Insomnia: [Feature Request] Include body in Request tag

[jo45]

It would be nice to be able to use the body content of a request as a variable, the same way we can do it with the response body.

{% response 'raw', '', '' %} => {% request 'raw', '', '' %}

Context: I need add a signature header to authenticate my API requests to OVH cloud services. The signature is the sha1 sum of the concatenation of multiple variables, including request body.

Does this feature is still being looked at ?

[gschier]

Correct, this still needs doing.

@gschier I'm looking for this as well 👍
I need to have md5 hash of full body that can be used in hmac auth header (HmacSHA512 from concatenated variables including md5 of body)

@gschier any updates? 😉

[gschier]

@Misiu No updates yet. I think a couple people have made plugins for similar things using the getBodyText() method from a plugin https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/blob/develop/packages/insomnia-app/app/plugins/context/request.js#L18
