Requests

Timeout (secs)

Number of seconds HttpRider waits for the response before timing out and closing the connection.

Follow Redirects

If checked, HttpRider will automatically follow if the server returns an HTTP status of 301 or 302 or 307. In case of either of these HTTP statuses, the response location header contains the link to follow.

If the configuration is checked, HttpRider will only display the last request in the Http exchange view.

HTTP Proxy

If configured, HttpRider will use the available proxy to send the request. Sometimes, it is not possible to configure SSL with the proxy so you can disable verification if required.

Updates

Checks if a new version of HttpRider is available on start up. If a new version is available then you’ll see an option to download the new version on the main window.

Print/Share
