Maybe it’s time to give ye ol’ curl some competition.

The 2 tools that gained me the most insight into HTTP and how to properly use/debug/ it: varnish and curl. Absolutely crucial tools.

Let’s say Tim is right. I’ll give HTTPie a shot.

In any case, the coloured output is a lot easier to digest. Now to get my hands on the syntax and the arguments – and the fact that curl’s options have been hardwired into my brain for the last years.

httpie_vs_curl

Good luck HTTPie , you’re fighting against years of curl love for me. But I’ll give you the chance you deserve.
