Describe the Issue

Wanna know what's the difference between these two screenshots (1. and 2.)?

Just a trailing whitespace in the first row for 'email ' instead of the correct 'email'

It's a small issue which bugged me, and It was quite easy to spot ¹, cause I met a similar case with Postman UI a couple of weeks ago), but lucky for me this one took me much less time to figure it out this time (being an IDE you can spot the space easily, unlike in that other case)

Steps To Reproduce

1. configure your code for POST request for a field email type string
2. leave a leading or trailing whitespace by mistake
3. ???
4. Unprofit

Screenshots or Videos

1. FIRST SCREENSHOT

2 SECOND SCREENSHOT.

Side Note

I hope trimming the fields could be a viable solution for this tiny needle in the haystack, or at very least why not a simple syntax highlight

1. Ignore the commit info by GitLens, it was just a minor seatback before the weekend break ↩

@Aierbote thanks for your feedback, one of the goal of my extension is to let user type HTTP request as they wish, so I don't wish to modify or format the content of the request.

[Aierbote]

If a syntax highlight (moderate or with the usual red squiggly lines) I hope it could be possible then to show as the whitespace dots marking indentations

Or like trailing whitespace of a line

Or like the boundary setting of VS Code "editor.renderWhitespace"

Side Note

Speaking of syntax highlight, why not mark this kind of errors

"message": "Expected double-quoted property name in JSON at position 41",
"error": "Bad Request",

When leaving a trailing comma in a body

Anyway, thanks for your extension, great job ❤️
