DESCRIPTION

       HTTPie is a CLI HTTP utility built out of frustration with existing tools.  The goal is to
       make CLI interaction with HTTP-based services as human-friendly as possible.

       HTTPie does so by providing an  http  command  that  allows  for  issuing  arbitrary  HTTP
       requests using a simple and natural syntax and displaying colorized responses.

OPTIONS

   Positional Arguments
       These  arguments  come after any flags and in the order they are listed here.  Only URL is
       required.

       METHOD

              The HTTP method to be used for the request (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, ...).
              This argument can be omitted in which case HTTPie will use POST if  there  is  some
              data to be sent, otherwise GET:

                      $ http example.org               # => GET

                      $ http example.org hello=world   # => POST

       URL

              The scheme defaults to 'http://' if the URL does not include one.

              You can also use a shorthand for localhost

                      $ http :3000                     # => http://localhost:3000

                      $ http :/foo                     # => http://localhost/foo

       REQUEST_ITEM

              Optional  key-value  pairs  to  be  included  in  the  request.  The separator used
              determines the type:

              ':'   HTTP headers
                      Referer:http://httpie.org
                      Cookie:foo=bar
                      User-Agent:bacon/1.0

              '=='  URL parameters to be appended to the request URI
                      search==httpie

              '='   Data fields to be serialized into a JSON object (with  --json,  -j)  or  form
              data (with --form, -f)
                      name=HTTPie
                      language=Python
                      description='CLI HTTP client'

              ':='  Non-string JSON data fields (only with --json, -j)
                      awesome:=true
                      amount:=42
                      colors:='["red", "green", "blue"]'

              '@'   Form file fields (only with --form, -f)
                      cs@~/Documents/CV.pdf

              '=@'  A data field like '=', but takes a file path and embeds its content:
                      essay=@Documents/essay.txt

              ':=@' A raw JSON field like ':=', but takes a file path and embeds its content:
                      package:=@./package.json

              You can use a backslash to escape a colliding separator in the field name:

                      field-name-with\:colon=value

   Predefined Content Types:
       --json, -j

              (default)  Data  items  from the command line are serialized as a JSON object.  The
              Content-Type and Accept headers are set to application/json (if not specified).

       --form, -f

              Data items from the command line are serialized as form fields.

              The Content-Type is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded  (if  not  specified).
              The presence of any file fields results in a multipart/form-data request.

   Output Processing:
       --pretty {all,colors,format,none}

              Controls  output  processing.  The  value  can be "none" to not prettify the output
              (default for redirected output), "all" to apply both colors and formatting (default
              for terminal output), "colors", or "format".

       --style STYLE, -s STYLE

              Output coloring style (default is "solarized"). One of:

              algol,  algol_nu,  autumn, borland, bw, colorful, default, emacs, friendly, fruity,
              igor,  lovelace,  manni,  monokai,  murphy,  native,  paraiso-dark,  paraiso-light,
              pastie, perldoc, rrt, solarized, tango, trac, vim, vs, xcode

              For  this  option  to  work  properly,  please make sure that the $TERM environment
              variable   is   set   to   "xterm-256color"   or   similar   (e.g.,   via   `export
              TERM=xterm-256color' in your ~/.bashrc).

   Output Options:
       --print WHAT, -p WHAT

              String specifying what the output should contain:

              'H' request headers 'B' request body 'h' response headers 'b' response body

              The  default behaviour is 'hb' (i.e., the response headers and body is printed), if
              standard output is not redirected. If the output is piped to another program or  to
              a file, then only the response body is printed by default.

       --verbose, -v

              Print the whole request as well as the response. Shortcut for --print=HBbh.

       --headers, -h

              Print only the response headers. Shortcut for --print=h.

       --body, -b

              Print only the response body. Shortcut for --print=b.

       --stream, -S

              Always stream the output by line, i.e., behave like `tail -f'.

              Without  --stream  and  with  --pretty  (either set or implied), HTTPie fetches the
              whole response before it outputs the processed data.

              Set this option when you want  to  continuously  display  a  prettified  long-lived
              response, such as one from the Twitter streaming API.

              It  is  useful  also  without  --pretty: It ensures that the output is flushed more
              often and in smaller chunks.

       --output FILE, -o FILE

              Save output to FILE. If --download is set, then only the response body is saved  to
              the file. Other parts of the HTTP exchange are printed to stderr.

       --download, -d

              Do  not  print  the  response body to stdout. Rather, download it and store it in a
              file. The filename is guessed  unless  specified  with  --output  [filename].  This
              action is similar to the default behaviour of wget.

       --continue, -c

              Resume an interrupted download. Note that the --output option needs to be specified
              as well.

   Sessions:
       --session SESSION_NAME_OR_PATH

              Create, or reuse and update a session.  Within  a  session,  custom  headers,  auth
              credential, as well as any cookies sent by the server persist between requests.

              Session files are stored in:

              /home/gaetano/.httpie/sessions/<HOST>/<SESSION_NAME>.json.

       --session-read-only SESSION_NAME_OR_PATH

              Create or read a session without updating it form the request/response exchange.

   Authentication:
       --auth USER[:PASS], -a USER[:PASS]

              If  only  the  username  is  provided  (-a  username),  HTTPie  will prompt for the
              password.

       --auth-type {basic,digest}

              The authentication mechanism to be used. Defaults to "basic".

              "basic": Basic HTTP auth "digest": Digest HTTP auth

   Network:
       --proxy PROTOCOL:PROXY_URL

              String mapping protocol to the URL of the  proxy  (e.g.  http:http://foo.bar:3128).
              You can specify multiple proxies with different protocols.

       --follow

              Set  this  flag  if  full  redirects  are  allowed (e.g. re-POST-ing of data at new
              Location).

       --verify VERIFY

              Set to "no" to skip checking the host's SSL certificate. You can also pass the path
              to  a  CA_BUNDLE  file  for  private certs. You can also set the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE
              environment variable. Defaults to "yes".

       --cert CERT

              You can specify a local cert to use as client side SSL certificate.  This file  may
              either  contain  both  private  key  and  certificate or you may specify --cert-key
              separately.

       --cert-key CERT_KEY

              The private key to use with SSL. Only needed if --cert is given and the certificate
              file does not contain the private key.

       --timeout SECONDS

              The connection timeout of the request in seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.

       --check-status

              By  default,  HTTPie exits with 0 when no network or other fatal errors occur. This
              flag instructs HTTPie to also check the HTTP status code and exit with an error  if
              the status indicates one.

              When  the  server  replies  with  a 4xx (Client Error) or 5xx (Server Error) status
              code, HTTPie exits with 4 or 5 respectively. If the response is  a  3xx  (Redirect)
              and  --follow hasn't been set, then the exit status is 3.  Also an error message is
              written to stderr if stdout is redirected.

   Troubleshooting:
       --ignore-stdin

              Do not attempt to read stdin.

       --help

              Show this help message and exit.

       --version

              Show version and exit.

       --traceback

              Prints exception traceback should one occur.

       --debug

              Prints exception traceback should one occur, and also  other  information  that  is
              useful for debugging HTTPie itself and for reporting bugs.

       For every --OPTION there is also a --no-OPTION that reverts OPTION to its default value.
