Httpc

A node based utility for making http/s requests via terminals.

Installation

npm i -g skit-httpc

Usage

After installation, create a httpc.json file in your current working directory and add the following content:

{
  "method": "<get | post | put | patch | head | delete | options | trace>", 
  "url": "<url>",
  "headers": {
     "<key>": "<value>"
  },
  "body": "<Only add this if there is a request body and the request method supports HTTP request payloads>"
}

the object's body (request body) field can be of any valid json type.

Run httpc to make the request specified in the httpc.json object.

To make multiple requests one at a time (you might receive responses in an unordered manner), place each request object in a single root array in the httpc.json file. For example:

[
  {...requestA},
  {...requestB}
]

In cases where your request objects are placed in an array in the httpc.json file and you don’t want to make all the requests, but instead just a specific one, run httpc <indexOfObject>. For example, calling httpc 4 when you have up to 6 objects in the array, will cause httpc to only make the 5th request in the array.

Indexes starts at 0.
