Support for setting variables based on response data

[sarumont]

It would be nice to be able to set variables for a future request (or cd to a path) based on the previous response data. Something like JSONpath syntax would be simple yet effective:

Response body:

{
  "id": "17f96808-886a-452e-bbc7-956d27c6cd9d",
  ...
}

> fooId=$.id

> cd $.id

Oh wow! I never thought this feature would be missing. That'd be a really huge improvement. I don't want to copy the data like JWT token all the time.

It has been 3 years, does anybody have any update on this? We started using httpie at work, but this is a feature I see lacking the most comparing to our previous API tool.

This is... a huge bummer. I was loving HTTPie until this haha

Unfortunately I had to switch back to Insomnia, Dynamic variables based on response body is critical for me.
