   I used blinking text not so much in the “Danger, Will Robinson!” sense but rather to suggest that the response is not idempotent. Repeating the same request could result in a different, non-error response. User-configurable color schemes ar

   1) Agreed, that is a bit annoying, but I thought it less annoying than losing your entire session by quitting if you inadvertently type Ctrl-D twice to terminate input to the ‘body-set’ command. 2) The brackets are used similarly to their m

   The aim of the project was to make htty an incremental advance over curl by layering aspects of a browser UX on top of it. What you get with htty that curl doesn't give you is primarily a session, and consequently a history. The other featu

   Glad you like it. Please let me know if htty ends up causing you pain in the course of your API work. Either tweet me @get_htty or @njonsson or enter a bug or wish-list item at http://github.com/htty/htty/issues .

    I agree. Minimizing external dependencies (with a particular focus on the OS X experience) was a guiding principle of the project. I will probably use Ruby Readline ( http://bogojoker.com/readline ) to implement this. Another planned featur

    Yes, http-console really rocks. It was the inspiration for htty, as I indicate in the readme.

    Why do this when the admirable Node.js-based http-console exists? To begin with, not everybody is into Node yet, and so installing http-console is not as simple as 'gem install htty'. Furthermore, http-console's spare UI is not as full-feat
