Enable env variable placeholder replacement when including file in request

See original GitHub issue

It would be great if env variable placeholders would also be replaced in included files.

// My Env File
{
  "dev": {
    "foo": "bar"
  }
}

// My payload "payload.json" as a separate file
{
  "foo": "{{foo}}"
}

POST my.host.com
Content-Type: application/json

< ./payload.json

Currently, when sending the request, it would send the exact payload and not replace the {{foo}} placeholder.

Do you have an example PDF for this?

I tried it out with these two files: Foo.md Converted to PDF: Foo.pdf

I then sent this request:

// Environment
{
  "Foo": {
    "foo": "bar"
  }
}

POST https://httpbin.org/anything
accept: application/json

< ./Foo.pdf

This was the response:

I built the response PDF file out of the response data and recieved this: Response.pdf

Its the exact same PDF file and no replacement has happened.

Is this what you had in mind as a test? If not, I can test another case 😃

I updated environmentConfig to allow configuration of a white list of extensions which automatically inject variables. I think this simplifies your use case
