      "args": ["-y", "@paretools/http"]
    }
  }
}

Example

{
  "status": 200,
  "statusText": "OK",
  "headers": {
    "content-type": "application/json",

Security

• Only http:// and https:// URL schemes are allowed (file://, ftp://, etc. are blocked)
• Header values are validated against CRLF injection
• Request body is passed via --data-raw to prevent curl @file expansion
• Redirect hops limited to 10
