        httpcli
        =======
        
        Just another command line HTTP client (in the spirit of cURL).
        
        Example Usage
        =============
        
        HTTP verbs are specified as a positional argument, followed by the URL to be
        acted on. The goal is to reflect the feel of a standard HTTP header. For
        example::
        
            $ http get http://localhost/
        
        To provide a request body (e.g. for a POST or PUT), use the third positional
        argument::
        
            $ http post http://localhost/documents '{"json": "document"}'
        
        Arbitrary request headers can be specified as CLI args::
        
            $ http get http://localhost/ --x-forwarded-for=10.0.0.50
        
        This would be translated as `X-Forwarded-For: 10.0.0.50` in the subsequent HTTP
        request. To illustrate this, we can enable verbose output::
        
            $ http --verbose get http://localhost/ --x-forwarded-for=10.0.0.50
        
            GET http://localhost/
            =====================
        
            X-Forwarded-For: 10.0.0.50
        
            200 OK

                  "id": "c1be0fde3c0f4d27be15e1e3812cfd65b58325c3",
                  "value": "a"
                },
                {
                  "id": "67dc85dceacd3734ae53f1a69f56785dfe4c4c71",

                }
              ]
            }
        
        Built-In Help

        Example help output::
