Best use cases

Common mistakes

METHOD or URL line is missing

Fix: Provide METHOD: and URL: lines so the tool can build the request line.

Header lines are mixed with invalid formatting

Fix: Use clear key:value lines for headers.

The user expects a live request to be sent

Fix: This tool builds a raw request block only. It does not send the request.
