Binary Response Viewer

Rostyman automatically detects binary and media responses and renders them natively in the response panel — no configuration needed.

How It Works

When the response Content-Type is a known binary or media type, the response body area switches from the text editor to the appropriate viewer automatically. No setting to enable — it just works.

Images

  • Displayed at full width, up to 100% of the panel
  • Zoom In / Zoom Out / Reset Zoom buttons in the toolbar
  • Images larger than the panel are scrollable
  • SVG files are rendered as images; click View Source to see the raw XML markup

Video

  • Uses the browser's native video element
  • Supports play, pause, seek, volume control, and fullscreen
  • Video dimensions and duration are shown in the toolbar

Audio

  • Play, pause, seek bar, and volume control
  • File size and duration shown in the panel header

PDF

  • Rendered using the browser's built-in PDF viewer
  • Download button to save the PDF locally

CSV

  • Parsed into a scrollable interactive table
  • Row and column count shown in the header
  • First row is treated as the column header row

Saving Binary Responses

Click Download in the response toolbar to save any binary response to disk. The filename is inferred from the Content-Disposition header or the request URL, with the correct file extension applied automatically.
