I've been using HTTPie a lot more recently. It really takes the tedium out of using curl and I can produce color coded output for people. However, I am still finding myself in situations where I can't figure out how to induce the correct request. In other words, the user friendliness of being able to do things like construct JSON from parameters is great until it isn't.
Is there anything similar for GUI users? The standalone application form of Postman is popular with some coworkers for general HTTP work as is Fiddler on Windows.
- dordoka 10y agoIf you are on OS X, you should try Paw [0]. It's like Postman but with native GUI and lots of options. I use it everyday. [0] https://luckymarmot.com/paw https://luckymarmot.com/paw

- dperfect 10y agoPaw is really nice. I love that you can string together multiple requests with "dynamic values" (connecting the output from one request to the inputs of another, with transformations/functions/whatever). I use the command line for a lot of things, but Charles + Paw is a super powerful combination for tinkering with HTTP requests outside of code.
- pbreit 10y agoHave you tried Postman? Does it not do what you'd like.
- jkbr 10y agoDo you have an example of a request that you're unable to make with HTTPie?
