httpie-like HTTP client written in Go

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

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.
