hitman

A TUI HTTP client for debugging request/response headers inspired by restclient.el and httpie.

Features

• You choose the HTTP method and URL for the request (obviously).
• Request + response are printed in a scrollable viewport.
• Your input is auto-saved on exit.

Install

Using go:

$ go install github.com/ramitmittal/hitman/cmd/hitman@latest
$ hitman

Or download a binary package.

Usage

• Type a request definition and press TAB to send.

GET jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/2
Accept: application/json

• Use # to comment lines in input.

# an http request

• Use " for escaping spaces and colons.

GET "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/2"
Accept: "custom:value with spaces and colons"

• Use flags to modify the HTTP client. Flags should be placed after headers.
