insomnia: Large Files Crash Application

Insomnia Version: Version 6.5.3 (6.5.3.2835)
Operating System: MacOS Mojave

Details

This seems related to #282 and #608 but those are both closed and I’m definitely experiencing the problem.

I requested a 2.5MB Excel file through Insomnia and it became unresponsive. This used to work so I think this was broken in a recent update. Also, if I reopen the application after I’m prompted to the application just crashes outright. I had to delete the response database to open Insomnia again.

Edit: It looks like this might be specific to an xml response. I’m getting:

<ns:binary xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/commons/ns/payload">
base64encodedbytes... lots of them...
</ns:binary>

from the application I was calling now and I think Insomnia might be getting stuck trying to format the xml in the preview.

Retested with Insomnia 6.6.2 and the app no longer hangs/becomes unresponsive. How about you @skyhirider?

Testing code which zips 3 photos and downloads them - Same issue where the large payload size causes insomnia to go into a loop of death until you clear data manually. Commented to prevent stale bot.

I am experiencing Insomnia getting stuck when I get a larger json response back.

I click into the body response window, do Ctrl+A and Insomnia gets stuck. Unsure if I should open a separate issue, but this happened repeatedly. Exporting raw body works.

Wish there was a copy body button that would prevent this issue.
