HTTPie nice command line HTTP client

HTTPie consists of a single http command designed for painless debugging and interaction with HTTP servers, RESTful APIs, and web services

It easy to use and has very nice defaults and coloured output which makes it good for local testing.

Usage examples with curl equivalent:

# curl post
curl --data "foo=23&bar=42" https://example.org/blub
# httpie post
http https://example.org/blub foo=23 bar=42

# curl localhost
curl localhost:3000/users
# httpie localhost
http :3000/users
