Code Inspections in HTTP Client

This topic lists all PhpStorm code inspections available in HTTP Client.

You can toggle specific inspections or change their severity level on the Editor | Inspections page of the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S.

Inspection	Description	Default Severity
'$placeholder' in HTTP Request	Reports a `$placeholder` inside a request. A `$placeholder` to be replaced by the user is created automatically when a tool cannot recognize a part of a request. For example, a request mapping `/aaaa/*/bbb` will be generated as `GET localhost/aaaa/{{$placeholder}}/bbb`.	Warning
Incorrect HTTP header	Reports unknown HTTP headers that do not match any publicly known headers. The quick fix suggests adding the header to the list of custom headers when the Use custom HTTP headers option is enabled. HTTP headers from the list of custom headers will not trigger the inspection.	Warning
Redundant 'Content-Length'	Reports an explicitly set `Content-Length` header. The header is redundant because HTTP Client uses the actual request body length.	Warning

Description

Default Severity

'$placeholder' in HTTP Request

Reports a $placeholder inside a request.

A $placeholder to be replaced by the user is created automatically when a tool cannot recognize a part of a request. For example, a request mapping /aaaa/*/bbb will be generated as GET localhost/aaaa/{{$placeholder}}/bbb.

Warning

Incorrect HTTP header

Reports unknown HTTP headers that do not match any publicly known headers. The quick fix suggests adding the header to the list of custom headers when the Use custom HTTP headers option is enabled. HTTP headers from the list of custom headers will not trigger the inspection.

Warning

Redundant 'Content-Length'

Reports an explicitly set Content-Length header. The header is redundant because HTTP Client uses the actual request body length.
