I want to send <MYURL>/myaddres?path=<MYPATH>&content=<MYCONTENT> to a service with editor based REST client in IntelliJ, but take the content of <MYCONTENT> from a file.

Answer 1

Yes, you should type the < symbol followed by the path to the file:POST

POST http://example.com:8080/api/html/post
Content-Type: application/json

< ./input.json

Yes, but this will pass file as entire request body, not for a single parameter? – Pasteurizer
