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.
