README.md

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.
