Description

Currently, getting a response that is msgpack formatted results in the application window just going completely blank (at least that is what is happening for me). Likely a result of Bruno trying to parse the response as text. It would be nice if it could detect msgpack (from Content-Type) or even an option to select the response format, and have it converted to JSON for readability.
