I like HTTPie and I use it from time to time, but I don't actually find the UI all that intuitive. It's probably just me, but having curl not actually care about the order of arguments makes it hard for me to flip back to HTTPie where it does actually matter. When I do, I usually expect headers to come first, since they actually do come first in a typical HTTP flow. But, again, it's probably just me, and maybe I need to force myself to use it more and it will become second nature.
- therein 10y agoExactly my issue with it. I would make HTTPie my primary tool if its cli syntax was as lenient as curl's. It would save me piping my output to `jq`.
- eddieroger 10y agoReading the rest of this thread reminded me about piping to jq, which I forget as much as I forget to use HTTPie. Usually I'm checking headers and non-body stuff when I'm using these tools, but when I've got someone over my shoulder who's not as used to reading compressed JSON, or they're looking for something specific, it's nice to get a pretty format. I guess that's the biggest hurdle in just changing habits.
