http

HTTPie: an HTTP client designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs and HTTP servers. More information: https://httpie.io/docs/cli/usage.

• Make a simple GET request (shows response headers and content):

http {{https://example.com}}

• Print specific parts of the content (H: request headers, B: request body, h: response headers, b: response body, m: response metadata):

http --print {{H|B|h|b|m|Hh|Hhb|...}} {{https://example.com}}

• Specify the HTTP method when sending a request and use a proxy to intercept the request:

http {{GET|POST|HEAD|PUT|PATCH|DELETE|...}} --proxy {{http|https}}:{{http://localhost:8080|socks5://localhost:9050|...}} {{https://example.com}}

• Follow any 3xx redirects and specify additional headers in a request:

http {{-F|--follow}} {{https://example.com}} {{'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0' 'Accept-Encoding: gzip'}}

• Authenticate to a server using different authentication methods:

http --auth {{username:password|token}} --auth-type {{basic|digest|bearer}} {{GET|POST|...}} {{https://example.com/auth}}

• Construct a request but do not send it (similar to a dry-run):

http --offline {{GET|DELETE|...}} {{https://example.com}}

• Use named sessions for persistent custom headers, auth credentials and cookies:

http --session {{session_name|path/to/session.json}} {{--auth username:password https://example.com/auth API-KEY:xxx}}

• Upload a file to a form (the example below assumes that the form field is <input type="file" name="cv" />):

http --form {{POST}} {{https://example.com/upload}} {{cv@path/to/file}}
