# http-cli
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`http` is the http command-line client you've been waiting for.
|
||
|
|
It's like `curl` except with a much more convenient interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Automatically follows redirects by default
|
||
|
|
- Automatically pretty-prints JSON if stdout is a tty
|
||
|
|
- Automatically prepends `https://` to URLs without a protocol if called as `https`
|
||
|
|
- Written in pure Rust (!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install Rust if for some reason you haven't already, then type `cargo build --release`.
|
||
|
|
Copy the newly created `target/release/http-util` to `/usr/local/bin` or some other
|
||
|
|
directory in your PATH, and rename it to `http`.
|
||
|
|
You may also want to create a link to this file called `https`; this utility will default
|
||
|
|
to HTTPS if called as such.
|
||
|
|
Lastly, you may want to copy `http.1` to `/usr/local/man/man1/` to get the manpage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can also run `sudo make install` for the automated installation
|
||
|
|
procedure, although cargo might get a stroke if you run it as root.
