xh

Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests. Note: xh, written in rust, serves as an effective drop-in replacement for http. See also: http, curl. More information: https://github.com/ducaale/xh.

• Send a GET request:

xh httpbin.org/get

• Send a POST request with a JSON body (key-value pairs are added to a top-level JSON object - e.g. {"name": "john", "age": 25}):

xh post httpbin.org/post name=john age:=25

• Send a GET request with query parameters (e.g. first_param=5&second_param=true):

xh get httpbin.org/get first_param==5 second_param==true

• Send a GET request with a custom header:

xh get httpbin.org/get header-name:header-value

• Make a GET request and save the response body to a file:

xh --download httpbin.org/json --output path/to/file

• Show equivalent curl command (this will not send any request):

xh --curl|curl-long --follow --verbose get http://example.com user-agent:curl
