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.
