httpie (xh) gives way better UX for api testing and related tasks. https://github.com/httpie/cli https://github.com/ducaale/xh

HTTPie creator here. Just a clarification: HTTPie is still under the same management, and the CLI doesn’t have any telemetry. Little Snitch is probably warning you about requests to packages.httpie.io/latest.json [0]. That is done to let you know when a new version becomes available. It’s a static file hosted through GitHub pages [1] without any tracking. However, there’s currently a bug [2] that prevents the response from getting cached so that the request fires frequently for some users. It’s already fixed in a PR [3] and will be part of the upcoming release. [0] https://github.com/httpie/cli/blob/master/httpie/internal/up...

> having a github repo with no code just to attract devs and look open source-y It's an HTTP client. The client codebase is here: https://github.com/httpie/cli Why everyone is getting their knickers in a massive twist because they have an Electron wrapper that they haven't open sourced is mystifying. I haven't studied the codebase but I highly doubt they are going to have a separate client implementation for the Electron product vs the CLI! They're just trying to create a nice Electron client, in addition to their well-known CLI, and start a business around it aren't they?

Their project that I am most familiar with is there CLI https://github.com/httpie/cli

On the bright side, the HTTPie CLI is open-source: https://github.com/httpie/cli/blob/master/LICENSE

Yesterday I was wondering why the self signed root certificate and the certificates I added to my debian install didn't work with httpie (ssl warning) but did work with curl (and the browsers I added the RootCA to). I found the explanation: https://github.com/httpie/httpie/issues/480 httpie doesn't look into /usr/local/share/ca-certificates but apparently it's not httpie's fault, it's the python requests library that doesn't check that folder. I don't know what to think of it and who is supposed to fix it. But I am back to curl with my tail between the legs (because I oversold httpie to my coworkers) for now. There's only one place where the bucket stops with curl.

The Vim/Neovim ecosystem has gotten unbelievably better over the last 5-10 years. "Living in the terminal" for core development work is IMO better than pretty much anything else out there; my Neovim setup has a modern plugin manager; an IDE-like experience with fast autocompletion as I type, goto definition, and automated refactor support; and a side-drawer file browser navigable with Vim motions. It feels like an IDE, except that it launches in ~100ms and has ultra-low typing latency. Using it with tmux panes means I can have various drawers and panes with a series of full, incredibly fast terminals wherever I want, with long-running tasks like automated test watching/running while I edit code placed wherever I want around the editor panel. Not to mention the Cambrian explosion of "modern" terminal tooling getting built, like xplr [1], h

A good example would be curlie (go frontend for curl - https://github.com/rs/curlie) vs httpie (pure python - https://github.com/httpie/httpie). Originally I used httpie for its easier syntax, but it is very noticeably slower than curlie. I presume this is why they are asking for a rust version. Another reason is that python is a bit harder to distribute due to the nature of python packaging, where as rust compiles to a single binary.

Well, it is at the top of Hacker News. If everyone just goes to https://github.com/httpie/httpie and stars it again - we'll fix it in a jiffy!

I am not a big fan of the complex literate programming style involving code-generation which this article talks about. But I recently discovered that Google's zx [1] scripting utility supports executing scripts in markdown documents and I combined it with httpie [2] and usql [3] for a bit of quick and dirty automation testing and api verification code and it worked out pretty well. I imagine for most people nowadays jupyter or vscode notebooks are the closest it comes to practical literate programming.

Httpie is what I use for this. I use shell scripts, with httpie commands which look very much like http syntax. https://github.com/httpie/httpie
