Description
When testing web service calls across production servers, I often change host file entries to point my machine at a particular web host. I can clear the OS cache, but the insomnia cache requires you to exit and restart the client.
I am told I can wait for 60 seconds, but time is of the essence when I am making production changes and would rather not have to wait.
An option in the UI to clear that cache on the fly would be helpful.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing Insomnia’s DNS-cache handling and the existing UI actions; the issue names no files or tests. Done means users can clear the cache from the UI immediately, without restarting Insomnia or waiting 60 seconds, with the behavior verified.
