curlie

As it is a utility toolkit, I'd like to have: - the Web & Network section expanded: the copyparty features (github.com/9001/copyparty) and curlie (github.com/rs/curlie). - compress/decompress features with password: it doesn't need to use the best compress algorithm, gzip is good enough.

curlie has had the best balance of ergonomics and power of all the cli tools I've tried. It's full curl underneath but provides a nice ergonomics layer that matches tools like httpie. https://github.com/rs/curlie

xh is Nice: https://github.com/ducaale/xh There's also curlie: https://github.com/rs/curlie

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.

Check out curlie[0] which is really great and already does this. It's essentially a wrapper for curl with JSON support. [ 0 ] https://github.com/rs/curlie

One time I tried to install HTTPie from ubuntu 16.04 apt repository I got an old version that was not compatible with httpie-jwt-auth so I had to install it using pip. 1. pip3 install httpie. 2. python3 -m pip install httpie. 3. sudo pip install httpie. Finally, it was working. Last week I upgraded to ubuntu 18.04 and surprise, httpie is not working. I didn't bother installing again from pip. Luckily this time, apt repository had a recent version. Scrolling back through my terminal history, I see that I went through the same struggle with s3cmd. So yeah, installing anything that requires python is a bit painful. Fortunately, someone in the comments mentioned https://github.com/rs/curlie which is an HTTPie alternative in golang.
