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.
