paw-harimporter's Issues

Import fails with 'Invalid UTF-8 detected'

I received a HAR file to investigate and I could not open it with Paw. I managed to replicate the issue by browsing the paw.cloud site, saving it as a HAR and I got the same error.

The extension console shows this:
JS Exception Line 2635. Error: Invalid UTF-8 detected

I've uploaded the HAR file: https://cl.ly/3t1a3k0z0O3d

The file can be opened with Charles, the Chrome extension Has Viewer and Sublime Text 3.

Paw Details:
Version 3.1.5 (Retail)
Build D09956 (3001005003) | Document Model AFD743

TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'mimeType.startsWith')

The HAR file was generated with Charles for Mac.

"content":{"size":0,"mimeType":null}
and
"redirectURL":null

Seem to cause the issue

How does it work?

I have just installed the plugin, and I have a hard time figuring out where to paste my HAR-request.

Fails to install due to I/O error

Paw Version 3.1.10 (Retail) 
Build 10DD3D (3001010001) 
Document Model AA921A

Tried to install from https://paw.cloud/extensions/HARImporter > [Install Extension]

Paw app briefliy displays "loading extension info" or something like that and then errors out with message: "The operation couldn't be completed. Input/output error"

• Repeated with the "extensions javascript console" enabled but nothing shows up there.
• Closed and reopened app... same error.
• Tried with "Install extension by identifier" from app preferences with id com.luckymarmot.PawExtensions.HARImporter... same error.

Extensions directory at

/Users/XXXX/Library/Containers/com.luckymarmot.Paw/Data/Library/Application Support/com.luckymarmot.Paw/Extensions

is empty.

Automatically set the body type

Paw lets users set different body types (plain text, form url encoded, JSON, multipart). It would be nice to detect which body type is most appropriate depending on the Content-Type header.

Here is the API in details: https://luckymarmot.com/paw/doc/Extensions/Reference/Request#urlencodedbody

Though, I'm thinking that maybe should we factor this in a new common API like:

request.setAppropriateBody(body_string, content_type)

It would work with:

request.setAppropriateBody("{\"value\":42}", "application/json")

... @jeroenvisser101 what do you think? is it worth a new JS API, or just do the parsing in this code?
