httpwut

CLI tool to lookup HTTP status code information.

This is a tool for me to learn Go, so you probably shouldn't use this.

λ httpwut is -h    
Lookup HTTP status codes

Usage:
  httpwut is [flags]

Flags:
  -c, --cats      Open HTTP Status Cats webpage for status
  -d, --dogs      Open HTTP Status Dogs webpage for status
  -h, --help      help for is
  -v, --verbose   Print status code description and URL

λ httpwut is 502       
502 - Bad Gateway

λ httpwut is 502 --verbose
502 - Bad Gateway
The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from an inbound server it accessed while attempting to fulfill the request.

Passing --cats and/or --dogs (you can do both at the time same) will open the status codes on https://http.cats and https://httpstatusdogs.com, respectively.
