corto

Corto is a command-line http client that makes its requests with superagent. Its goal is to bridge the gap between making HTTP requests using a CLI tool and making HTTP requests programmatically.

$ npm install -g corto
$ corto http://httpbin.org/headers

  }
}
$ corto -p http://httpbin.org/post 'test=hello'
