Code Inspections in HTTP Client

This topic lists all JetBrains Rider code inspections available in HTTP Client.

You can toggle specific inspections or change their severity level on the Editor | Inspection Settings | Inspection Severity | Other Languages 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
Unresolved environment variable	Reports variables undeclared in the current environment HTTP Client. Executing requests with undeclared variables probably fail. Consider adding a variable to the environment or selecting an environment with this variable. Inspection doesn't report variables in request bodies, because it can be a valid syntax of the body. Some variables may be not reported as unresolved, because they are declared in response or pre-request handler scripts via `client.global.set` or `request.variables.set` functions call.	Warning
Whitespace in URL	Highlights spaces inside URL path segments. HTTP Client will ignore them. For better composing use Split Lines action.	Weak warning
