[Feature Request] Option to save response to file automatically

Just like in a curl command you would redirect the output to a file with > response.xml, it would be nice to add a tab to handle what to do with the response, aside from previewing in the right panel.

The tab could be implemented as a list, where for each item that is usually shown in the right panel (Body Response, Full Response, Header, Timeline) could be assigned a file path to be saved as.

The use-case scenario for me is a series of third party services that return XML documents as response, and the same document is fed to another service through the File tab as a binary file. The workflow could be automatized even further if the steps for saving the Body Response where a feature of Insomnia.

This actually already exists, although it’s quite hidden. You can access it by right-clicking (or cmd+clicking) the Send button.

It isn’t quite as full-featured as you are describing, but give it a try and let me know your feedback.

Hi, would by great to be able to specify format/part of the response. Like an extraction of some parts and creating e.g. JSON file on local storage for another processing on computer.
