httpie-go
httpie-go (ht
) is a user-friendly HTTP client CLI.
Requests can be issued with fewer types compared to curl
.
Responses are displayed with syntax highlighting.
httpie-go is a clone of httpie.
Since httpie-go is written in Go, it is a single binary and does not require a heavy runtime.
Examples
This example sends a GET request to http://httpbin.org/get.
$ ht GET httpbin.org/get
The second example sends a POST request with JSON body {"hello": "world", "foo": "bar"}
.
$ ht POST httpbin.org/post hello=world foo=bar
You can see the request that is being sent with -v
option.
$ ht -v POST httpbin.org/post hello=world foo=bar
Request HTTP headers can be specified in the form of key:value
.
$ ht -v POST httpbin.org/post X-Foo:foobar
Disable TLS verification.
$ ht --verify=no https://httpbin.org/get
Download a file.
$ ht --download <any url you want>
Documents
Although httpie-go does not currently have documents, you can refer to the original httpie's documentation since httpie-go is a clone of httpie.
Note that some minor options are yet to be implemented in httpie-go.
