First off, I am really surprised how often this gets re-posted to HN. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=httpie&sort=byPopularity&prefi...

I discovered HTTPie a few years back and it has completely replaced curl/wget during our API development and testing.

I guess it's still growing in popularity but hasn't hit the inflection point of becoming a standard tool.

The concept of an HTTP CLI seems obvious to me in retrospect, but I'm not a web developer, so maybe there's a reason this isn't as useful it would seem at first glance?

there is an http cli already. it's included in like every OS ever...it's called curl. httpie is just more user friendly
