This is a plugin for Insomnia that allows the signing of HTTP Messages. It is based on the HTTP Signature Plugin. To find out more about the http signature spec, look here.

Installation

Install the insomnia-plugin-better-http-signature plugin from Preferences -> Plugins.

How to use

Add the HTTP Signature template tag as auth token or header value and fill the necessary fields.

Q&A

RSA Private Keys are set without headers and newlines (-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----).

The Live Preview will show a template of the signing string. There are no values, because they are inserted when a request is fired.

• The Date header is added if needed.
• Content-Type and Content-Length headers are used when available (eg. in post requests).
