Description: ****************************************
        HTTPie: a CLI, cURL-like tool for humans
        ****************************************
        
        
        HTTPie is a **command line HTTP client**. Its goal is to make CLI interaction
        with web services as **human-friendly** as possible. It provides a
        simple ``http`` command that allows for sending arbitrary HTTP requests using a
        simple and natural syntax, and displays colorized responses. HTTPie can be used
        for **testing, debugging**, and generally **interacting** with HTTP servers.

        HTTPie is written in Python, and under the hood it uses the excellent
        `Requests`_ and `Pygments`_ libraries.

        ============
        Installation
        ============
        
        The latest **stable version** of HTTPie can always be installed or updated
        to via `pip`_ (prefered)
        or ``easy_install``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pip install --upgrade httpie
        
        
        Alternatively:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ easy_install httpie
        
        
        Or, you can install the **development version** directly from GitHub:
        
        
        .. image:: https://secure.travis-ci.org/jkbr/httpie.png
            :target: http://travis-ci.org/jkbr/httpie
            :alt: Build Status of the master branch
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pip install --upgrade https://github.com/jkbr/httpie/tarball/master
        
        
        There are also packages available for `Ubuntu`_, `Debian`_, and possibly other
        Linux distributions as well. However, there may be a significant delay between
        official HTTPie releases and package updates.
        
        
        =====
        Usage
        =====
        
        
        Hello World:
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http httpie.org
        
        
        Synopsis:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http [flags] [METHOD] URL [ITEM [ITEM]]
        
        
        See also ``http --help``.
        
        
        --------
        Examples
        --------
        
        Custom `HTTP method`_, `HTTP headers`_ and `JSON`_ data:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http PUT example.org X-API-Token:123 name=John
        
        
        Submitting `forms`_:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -f POST example.org hello=World
        
        
        See the request that is being sent using one of the `output options`_:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -v example.org
        
        
        Use `Github API`_ to post a comment on an
        `issue <https://github.com/jkbr/httpie/issues/83>`_
        with `authentication`_:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -a USERNAME POST https://api.github.com/repos/jkbr/httpie/issues/83/comments body='HTTPie is awesome!'
        
        
        Upload a file using `redirected input`_:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http example.org < file.json
        
        
        Download a file and save it via `redirected output`_:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http example.org/file > file
        
        
        Download a file ``wget`` style:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --download example.org/file
        
        Use named `sessions`_ to make certain aspects or the communication persistent
        between requests to the same host:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --session=logged-in -a username:password httpbin.org/get API-Key:123
        
            $ http --session=logged-in httpbin.org/headers
        
        
        Set a custom ``Host`` header to work around missing DNS records:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http localhost:8000 Host:example.com
        
        ..
        
        --------
        
        *What follows is a detailed documentation. It covers the command syntax,
        advanced usage, and also features additional examples.*
        
        
        ============
        HTTP Method
        ============
        
        The name of the HTTP method comes right before the URL argument:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http DELETE example.org/todos/7
        
        
        Which looks similar to the actual ``Request-Line`` that is sent:
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            DELETE /todos/7 HTTP/1.1
        
        
        When the ``METHOD`` argument is **omitted** from the command, HTTPie defaults to
        either ``GET`` (with no request data) or ``POST`` (with request data).
        
        
        ===========
        Request URL
        ===========
        
        The only information HTTPie needs to perform a request is a URL.
        The default scheme is, somewhat unsurprisingly, ``http://``,
        and can be omitted from the argument – ``http example.org`` works just fine.
        
        Additionally, curl-like shorthand for localhost is supported.
        This means that, for example ``:3000`` would expand to ``http://localhost:3000``
        If the port is omitted, then port 80 is assumed.
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http :/foo
        
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            GET /foo HTTP/1.1
            Host: localhost
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http :3000/bar
        
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            GET /bar HTTP/1.1
            Host: localhost:3000
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http :
        
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            GET / HTTP/1.1
            Host: localhost
        
        If find yourself manually constructing URLs with **querystring parameters**
        on the terminal, you may appreciate the ``param==value`` syntax for appending
        URL parameters so that you don't have to worry about escaping the ``&``
        separators. To search for ``HTTPie`` on Google Images you could use this
        command:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http GET www.google.com search==HTTPie tbm==isch
        
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            GET /?search=HTTPie&tbm=isch HTTP/1.1
        
        
        =============
        Request Items
        =============
        
        There are a few different *request item* types that provide a
        convenient mechanism for specifying HTTP headers, simple JSON and
        form data, files, and URL parameters.
        
        They are key/value pairs specified after the URL. All have in
        common that they become part of the actual request that is sent and that
        their type is distinguished only by the separator used:
        ``:``, ``=``, ``:=``, ``==``, ``@``, ``=@``, and ``:=@``. The ones with an
        ``@`` expect a file path as value.
        
        +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
        | Item Type             | Description                                         |
        +=======================+=====================================================+
        | HTTP Headers          | Arbitrary HTTP header, e.g. ``X-API-Token:123``.    |
        | ``Name:Value``        |                                                     |
        +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
        | URL parameters        | Appends the given name/value pair as a query        |
        | ``name==value``       | string parameter to the URL.                        |
        |                       | The ``==`` separator is used                        |
        +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
        | Data Fields           | Request data fields to be serialized as a JSON      |
        | ``field=value``,      | object (default), or to be form-encoded             |
        | ``field=@file.txt``   | (``--form, -f``).                                   |
        +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
        | Raw JSON fields       | Useful when sending JSON and one or                 |
        | ``field:=json``,      | more fields need to be a ``Boolean``, ``Number``,   |
        | ``field:=@file.json`` | nested ``Object``, or an ``Array``,  e.g.,          |
        |                       | ``meals:='["ham","spam"]'`` or ``pies:=[1,2,3]``    |
        |                       | (note the quotes).                                  |
        +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
        | Form File Fields      | Only available with ``--form, -f``.                 |
        | ``field@/dir/file``   | For example ``screenshot@~/Pictures/img.png``.      |
        |                       | The presence of a file field results                |
        |                       | in a ``multipart/form-data`` request.               |
        +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
        
        You can use ``\`` to escape characters that shouldn't be used as separators
        (or parts thereof). For instance, ``foo\==bar`` will become a data key/value
        pair (``foo=`` and ``bar``) instead of a URL parameter.
        
        You can also quote values, e.g. ``foo="bar baz"``.
        
        Note that data fields aren't the only way to specify request data:
        `Redirected input`_ allows for passing arbitrary data to be sent with the
        request.
        
        
        ====
        JSON
        ====
        
        JSON is the *lingua franca* of modern web services and it is also the
        **implicit content type** HTTPie by default uses:
        
        If your command includes some data items, they are serialized as a JSON
        object by default. HTTPie also automatically sets the following headers,
        both of which can be overwritten:
        
        ================    =======================================
        ``Content-Type``    ``application/json; charset=utf-8``
        ``Accept``          ``application/json``
        ================    =======================================
        
        You can use ``--json, -j`` to explicitly set ``Accept``
        to ``application/json`` regardless of whether you are sending data
        (it's a shortcut for setting the header via the usual header notation –
        ``http url Accept:application/json``).
        
        Simple example:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http PUT example.org name=John email=john@example.org
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            PUT / HTTP/1.1
            Accept: application/json
            Accept-Encoding: identity, deflate, compress, gzip
            Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
            Host: example.org
        
            {
                "name": "John",
                "email": "john@example.org"
            }
        
        
        Non-string fields use the ``:=`` separator, which allows you to embed raw JSON
        into the resulting object. Text and raw JSON files can also be embedded into
        fields using ``=@`` and ``:=@``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http PUT api.example.com/person/1 \
                name=John \
                age:=29 married:=false hobbies:='["http", "pies"]' \  # Raw JSON
                description=@about-john.txt \   # Embed text file
                bookmarks:=@bookmarks.json      # Embed JSON file
        
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            PUT /person/1 HTTP/1.1
            Accept: application/json
            Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
            Host: api.example.com
        
            {
                "age": 29,
                "hobbies": [
                    "http",
                    "pies"
                ],
                "description": "John is a nice guy who likes pies.",
                "married": false,
                "name": "John",
                "bookmarks": {
                    "HTTPie": "http://httpie.org",
                }
            }
        
        
        Send JSON data stored in a file (see `redirected input`_ for more examples):
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http POST api.example.com/person/1 < person.json
        
        
        =====
        Forms
        =====
        
        Submitting forms is very similar to sending `JSON`_ requests. Often the only
        difference is in adding the ``--form, -f`` option, which ensures that
        data fields are serialized as, and ``Content-Type`` is set to,
        ``application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8``.
        
        It is possible to make form data the implicit content type instead of JSON
        via the `config`_ file.
        
        
        -------------
        Regular Forms
        -------------
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --form POST api.example.org/person/1 name='John Smith' email=john@example.org cv=@~/Documents/cv.txt
        
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            POST /person/1 HTTP/1.1
            Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8
        
            name=John+Smith&email=john%40example.org&cv=John's+CV+...
        
        
        -----------------
        File Upload Forms
        -----------------
        
        If one or more file fields is present, the serialization and content type is
        ``multipart/form-data``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -f POST example.com/jobs name='John Smith' cv@~/Documents/cv.pdf
        
        
        The request above is the same as if the following HTML form were
        submitted:
        
        .. code-block:: html
        
            <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="http://example.com/jobs">
                <input type="text" name="name" />
                <input type="file" name="cv" />
            </form>
        
        Note that ``@`` is used to simulate a file upload form field, whereas
        ``=@`` just embeds the file content as a regular text field value.
        
        
        ============
        HTTP Headers
        ============
        
        To set custom headers you can use the ``Header:Value`` notation:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http example.org  User-Agent:Bacon/1.0  'Cookie:valued-visitor=yes;foo=bar'  X-Foo:Bar  Referer:http://httpie.org/
        
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            GET / HTTP/1.1
            Accept: */*
            Accept-Encoding: identity, deflate, compress, gzip
            Cookie: valued-visitor=yes;foo=bar
            Host: example.org
            Referer: http://httpie.org/
            User-Agent: Bacon/1.0
            X-Foo: Bar
        
        
        There are a couple of default headers that HTTPie sets:
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            GET / HTTP/1.1
            Accept: */*
            Accept-Encoding: identity, deflate, compress, gzip
            User-Agent: HTTPie/<version>
            Host: <taken-from-URL>
        
        
        Any of the default headers can be overwritten.
        
        
        ==============
        Authentication
        ==============
        
        The currently supported authentication schemes are Basic and Digest
        (see `auth plugins`_ for more). There are two flags that control authentication:
        
        ===================     ======================================================
        ``--auth, -a``          Pass a ``username:password`` pair as
                                the argument. Or, if you only specify a username
                                (``-a username``), you'll be prompted for
                                the password before the request is sent.
                                To send a an empty password, pass ``username:``.
                                The ``username:password@hostname`` URL syntax is
                                supported as well (but credentials passed via ``-a``
                                have higher priority).
        
        ``--auth-type``         Specify the auth mechanism. Possible values are
                                ``basic`` and ``digest``. The default value is
                                ``basic`` so it can often be omitted.
        ===================     ======================================================
        
        
        
        Basic auth:
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -a username:password example.org
        
        
        Digest auth:
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --auth-type=digest -a username:password example.org
        
        
        With password prompt:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -a username example.org
        
        
        Authorization information from your ``~/.netrc`` file is honored as well:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ cat ~/.netrc
            machine httpbin.org
            login httpie
            password test
        
            $ http httpbin.org/basic-auth/httpie/test
            HTTP/1.1 200 OK
            [...]

        =======
        Proxies
        =======
        
        You can specify proxies to be used through the ``--proxy`` argument for each
        protocol (which is included in the value in case of redirects across protocols):
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --proxy=http:http://10.10.1.10:3128 --proxy=https:https://10.10.1.10:1080 example.org
        
        
        With Basic authentication:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --proxy=http:http://user:pass@10.10.1.10:3128 example.org
        
        You can also configure proxies by environment variables ``HTTP_PROXY`` and
        ``HTTPS_PROXY``, and the underlying Requests library will pick them up as well.
        If you want to disable proxies configured through the environment variables for
        certain hosts, you can specify them in ``NO_PROXY``.
        
        In your ``~/.bash_profile``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
         export HTTP_PROXY=http://10.10.1.10:3128
         export HTTPS_PROXY=https://10.10.1.10:1080
         export NO_PROXY=localhost,example.com
        
        
        =====
        HTTPS
        =====
        
        To skip the host's SSL certificate verification, you can pass ``--verify=no``
        (default is ``yes``). You can also use ``--verify`` to set a custom CA bundle
        path. The path can also be configured via the environment variable
        ``REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE``.
        
        
        ==============
        Output Options
        ==============
        
        By default, HTTPie outputs the whole response message (headers as well as the
        body).
        
        You can control what should be printed via several options:
        
        =================   =====================================================
        ``--headers, -h``   Only the response headers are printed.
        ``--body, -b``      Only the response body is printed.
        ``--verbose, -v``   Print the whole HTTP exchange (request and response).
        ``--print, -p``     Selects parts of the HTTP exchange.
        =================   =====================================================
        
        ``--verbose`` can often be useful for debugging the request and generating
        documentation examples:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --verbose PUT httpbin.org/put hello=world
            PUT /put HTTP/1.1
            Accept: application/json
            Accept-Encoding: identity, deflate, compress, gzip
            Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
            Host: httpbin.org
            User-Agent: HTTPie/0.2.7dev
        
            {
                "hello": "world"
            }
        
        
            HTTP/1.1 200 OK
            Connection: keep-alive
            Content-Length: 477
            Content-Type: application/json
            Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2012 00:25:23 GMT
            Server: gunicorn/0.13.4
        
            {
                […]
            }
        
        
        All the other options are just a shortcut for ``--print, -p``.
        It accepts a string of characters each of which represents a specific part of
        the HTTP exchange:
        
        ==========  ==================
        Character   Stands for
        ==========  ==================
        ``H``       Request headers.
        ``B``       Request body.
        ``h``       Response headers.
        ``b``       Response body.
        ==========  ==================
        
        Print request and response headers:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --print=Hh PUT httpbin.org/put hello=world
        
        
        -------------------------
        Conditional Body Download
        -------------------------
        
        As an optimization, the response body is downloaded from the server
        only if it's part of the output. This is similar to performing a ``HEAD``
        request, except that it applies to any HTTP method you use.
        
        Let's say that there is an API that returns the whole resource when it is
        updated, but you are only interested in the response headers to see the
        status code after an update:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --headers PATCH example.org/Really-Huge-Resource name='New Name'
        
        
        Since we are only printing the HTTP headers here, the connection to the server
        is closed as soon as all the response headers have been received.
        Therefore, bandwidth and time isn't wasted downloading the body
        which you don't care about.
        
        The response headers are downloaded always, even if they are not part of
        the output
        
        
        ================
        Redirected Input
        ================
        
        **A universal method for passing request data is through redirected** ``stdin``
        (standard input). Such data is buffered and then with no further processing
        used as the request body. There are multiple useful ways to use piping:
        
        Redirect from a file:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http PUT example.com/person/1 X-API-Token:123 < person.json
        
        
        Or the output of another program:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ grep /var/log/httpd/error_log '401 Unauthorized' | http POST example.org/intruders
        
        
        You can use ``echo`` for simple data:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ echo '{"name": "John"}' | http PATCH example.com/person/1 X-API-Token:123
        
        
        You can even pipe web services together using HTTPie:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http GET https://api.github.com/repos/jkbr/httpie | http POST httpbin.org/post
        
        
        You can use ``cat`` to enter multiline data on the terminal:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ cat | http POST example.com
            <paste>
            ^D
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ cat | http POST example.com/todos Content-Type:text/plain
            - buy milk
            - call parents
            ^D
        
        
        On OS X, you can send the contents of the clipboard with ``pbpaste``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pbpaste | http PUT example.com
        
        
        Passing data through ``stdin`` cannot be combined with data fields specified
        on the command line:
        
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ echo 'data' | http POST example.org more=data   # This is invalid
        
        
        To prevent HTTPie from reading ``stdin`` data you can use the
        ``--ignore-stdin`` option.
        
        
        -------------------------
        Body Data From a Filename
        -------------------------
        
        **An alternative to redirected** ``stdin`` is specifying a filename (as
        ``@/path/to/file``) whose content is used as if it came from ``stdin``.
        
        It has the advantage that **the** ``Content-Type``
        **header is automatically set** to the appropriate value based on the
        filename extension. For example, the following request sends the
        verbatim contents of that XML file with ``Content-Type: application/xml``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http PUT httpbin.org/put @/data/file.xml
        
        
        =================
        Terminal Output
        =================
        
        HTTPie does several things by default in order to make its terminal output
        easy to read.
        
        
        ---------------------
        Colors and Formatting
        ---------------------
        
        Syntax highlighting is applied to HTTP headers and bodies (where it makes
        sense). You can choose your prefered color scheme via the ``--style`` option
        if you don't like the default one (see ``$ http --help`` for the possible
        values).
        
        Also, the following formatting is applied:
        
        * HTTP headers are sorted by name.
        * JSON data is indented, sorted by keys, and unicode escapes are converted
          to the characters they represent.
        * XML data is indented for better readability.
        
        One of these options can be used to control output processing:
        
        ====================   ========================================================
        ``--pretty=all``       Apply both colors and formatting.
                               Default for terminal output.
        ``--pretty=colors``    Apply colors.
        ``--pretty=format``    Apply formatting.
        ``--pretty=none``      Disables output processing.
                               Default for redirected output.
        ====================   ========================================================
        
        -----------
        Binary data
        -----------
        
        Binary data is suppressed for terminal output, which makes it safe to perform
        requests to URLs that send back binary data. Binary data is suppressed also in
        redirected, but prettified output. The connection is closed as soon as we know
        that the response body is binary,
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http example.org/Movie.mov
        
        
        You will nearly instantly see something like this:
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            HTTP/1.1 200 OK
            Accept-Ranges: bytes
            Content-Encoding: gzip
            Content-Type: video/quicktime
            Transfer-Encoding: chunked
        
            +-----------------------------------------+
            | NOTE: binary data not shown in terminal |
            +-----------------------------------------+
        
        
        =================
        Redirected Output
        =================
        
        HTTPie uses **different defaults** for redirected output than for
        `terminal output`_:
        
        * Formatting and colors aren't applied (unless ``--pretty`` is specified).
        * Only the response body is printed (unless one of the `output options`_ is set).
        * Also, binary data isn't suppressed.
        
        The reason is to make piping HTTPie's output to another programs and
        downloading files work with no extra flags. Most of the time, only the raw
        response body is of an interest when the output is redirected.
        
        Download a file:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http example.org/Movie.mov > Movie.mov
        
        
        Download an image of Octocat, resize it using ImageMagick, upload it elsewhere:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http octodex.github.com/images/original.jpg | convert - -resize 25% -  | http example.org/Octocats
        
        
        Force colorizing and formatting, and show both the request and the response in
        ``less`` pager:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --pretty=all --verbose example.org | less -R
        
        
        The ``-R`` flag tells ``less`` to interpret color escape sequences included
        HTTPie`s output.
        
        You can create a shortcut for invoking HTTPie with colorized and paged output
        by adding the following to your ``~/.bash_profile``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            function httpless {
                # `httpless example.org'
                http --pretty=all --print=hb "$@" | less -R;
            }
        
        
        =============
        Download Mode
        =============
        
        HTTPie features a download mode in which it acts similarly to ``wget``.
        
        When enabled using the ``--download, -d`` flag, response headers are printed to
        the terminal (``stderr``), and a progress bar is shown while the response body
        is being saved to a file.
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --download https://github.com/jkbr/httpie/tarball/master
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            HTTP/1.1 200 OK
            Connection: keep-alive
            Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=jkbr-httpie-0.4.1-33-gfc4f70a.tar.gz
            Content-Length: 505530
            Content-Type: application/x-gzip
            Server: GitHub.com
            Vary: Accept-Encoding
        
            Downloading 494.89 kB to "jkbr-httpie-0.4.1-33-gfc4f70a.tar.gz"
            /  21.01% 104.00 kB   47.55 kB/s  0:00:08 ETA
        
        
        If not provided via ``--output, -o``, the output filename will be determined
        from ``Content-Disposition`` (if available), or from the URL and
        ``Content-Type``. If the guessed filename already exists, HTTPie adds a unique
        suffix to it.
        
        You can also redirect the response body to another program while the response
        headers and progress are still shown in the terminal:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -d https://github.com/jkbr/httpie/tarball/master |  tar zxf -
        
        
        If ``--output, -o`` is specified, you can resume a partial download using the
        ``--continue, -c`` option. This only works with servers that support
        ``Range`` requests and ``206 Partial Content`` responses. If the server doesn't
        support that, the whole file will simply be downloaded:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -dco file.zip example.org/file
        
        Other notes:
        
        * The ``--download`` option only changes how the response body is treated.
        * You can still set custom headers, use sessions, ``--verbose, -v``, etc.
        * ``--download`` always implies ``--follow`` (redirects are followed).
        * HTTPie exits with status code ``1`` (error) if the body hasn't been fully
          downloaded.
        * ``Accept-Encoding`` cannot be set with ``--download``.
        
        
        ==================
        Streamed Responses
        ==================
        
        Responses are downloaded and printed in chunks, which allows for streaming
        and large file downloads without using too much RAM. However, when
        `colors and formatting`_ is applied, the whole response is buffered and only
        then processed at once.
        
        
        You can use the ``--stream, -S`` flag to make two things happen:
        
        1. The output is flushed in **much smaller chunks** without any buffering,
           which makes HTTPie behave kind of like ``tail -f`` for URLs.
        
        2. Streaming becomes enabled even when the output is prettified: It will be
           applied to **each line** of the response and flushed immediately. This makes
           it possible to have a nice output for long-lived requests, such as one
           to the Twitter streaming API.
        
        
        Prettified streamed response:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --stream -f -a YOUR-TWITTER-NAME https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json track='Justin Bieber'
        
        
        Streamed output by small chunks alá ``tail -f``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            # Send each new tweet (JSON object) mentioning "Apple" to another
            # server as soon as it arrives from the Twitter streaming API:
            $ http --stream -f -a YOUR-TWITTER-NAME https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json track=Apple \
            | while read tweet; do echo "$tweet" | http POST example.org/tweets ; done
        
        ========
        Sessions
        ========
        
        By default, every request is completely independent of any previous ones.
        HTTPie also supports persistent sessions, where custom headers (except for the
        ones starting with ``Content-`` or ``If-``), authorization, and cookies
        (manually specified or sent by the server) persist between requests
        to the same host.
        
        --------------
        Named Sessions
        --------------
        
        Create a new session named ``user1`` for ``example.org``:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --session=user1 -a user1:password example.org X-Foo:Bar
        
        Now you can refer to the session by its name, and the previously used
        authorization and HTTP headers will automatically be set:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --session=user1 example.org
        
        To create or reuse a different session, simple specify a different name:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --session=user2 -a user2:password example.org X-Bar:Foo
        
        To use a session without updating it from the request/response exchange
        once it is created, specify the session name via
        ``--session-read-only=SESSION_NAME`` instead.
        
        Named sessions' data is stored in JSON files in the directory
        ``~/.httpie/sessions/<host>/<name>.json``
        (``%APPDATA%\httpie\sessions\<host>\<name>.json`` on Windows).
        
        ------------------
        Anonymous Sessions
        ------------------
        
        Instead of a name, you can also directly specify a path to a session file. This
        allows for sessions to be re-used across multiple hosts:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http --session=/tmp/session.json example.org
            $ http --session=/tmp/session.json admin.example.org
            $ http --session=~/.httpie/sessions/another.example.org/test.json example.org
            $ http --session-read-only=/tmp/session.json example.org
        
        
        **Warning:** All session data, including credentials, cookie data,
        and custom headers are stored in plain text.
        
        Note that session files can also be created and edited manually in a text
        editor; they are plain JSON.
        
        See also `Config`_.
        
        
        ======
        Config
        ======
        
        HTTPie uses a simple configuration file that contains a JSON object with the
        following keys:
        
        =========================     =================================================
        ``__meta__``                  HTTPie automatically stores some metadata here.
                                      Do not change.
        
        ``implicit_content_type``     A ``String`` specifying the implicit content type
                                      for request data. The default value for this
                                      option is ``json`` and can be changed to
                                      ``form``.
        
        ``default_options``           An ``Array`` (by default empty) of options
                                      that should be applied to every request.
        
                                      For instance, you can use this option to change
                                      the default style and output options:
                                      ``"default_options": ["--style=fruity", "--body"]``
        
                                      Another useful default option is
                                      ``"--session=default"`` to make HTTPie always
                                      use `sessions`_.
        
                                      Default options from config file can be unset
                                      for a particular invocation via
                                      ``--no-OPTION`` arguments passed on the
                                      command line (e.g., ``--no-style``
                                      or ``--no-session``).
        =========================     =================================================
        
        The default location of the configuration file is ``~/.httpie/config.json``
        (or ``%APPDATA%\httpie\config.json`` on Windows).
        
        The config directory location can be changed by setting the
        ``HTTPIE_CONFIG_DIR`` environment variable.
        
        
        =========
        Scripting
        =========
        
        When using HTTPie from **shell scripts**, it can be handy to set the
        ``--check-status`` flag. It instructs HTTPie to exit with an error if the
        HTTP status is one of ``3xx``, ``4xx``, or ``5xx``. The exit status will
        be ``3`` (unless ``--follow`` is set), ``4``, or ``5``,
        respectively.
        
        The ``--ignore-stdin`` option prevents HTTPie from reading data from ``stdin``,
        which is usually not desirable during non-interactive invocations.
        
        Also, the ``--timeout`` option allows to overwrite the default 30s timeout:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            #!/bin/bash
        
            if http --check-status --ignore-stdin --timeout=2.5 HEAD example.org/health &> /dev/null; then
                echo 'OK!'
            else
                case $? in
                    2) echo 'Request timed out!' ;;
                    3) echo 'Unexpected HTTP 3xx Redirection!' ;;
                    4) echo 'HTTP 4xx Client Error!' ;;
                    5) echo 'HTTP 5xx Server Error!' ;;
                    *) echo 'Other Error!' ;;
                esac
            fi
        
        
        ================
        Interface Design
        ================
        
        The syntax of the command arguments closely corresponds to the actual HTTP
        requests sent over the wire. It has the advantage  that it's easy to remember
        and read. It is often possible to translate an HTTP request to an HTTPie
        argument list just by inlining the request elements. For example, compare this
        HTTP request:
        
        .. code-block:: http
        
            POST /collection HTTP/1.1
            X-API-Key: 123
            User-Agent: Bacon/1.0
            Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
        
            name=value&name2=value2
        
        
        with the HTTPie command that sends it:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ http -f POST example.org/collection \
              X-API-Key:123 \
              User-Agent:Bacon/1.0 \
              name=value \
              name2=value2
        
        
        Notice that both the order of elements and the syntax is very similar,
        and that only a small portion of the command is used to control HTTPie and
        doesn't directly correspond to any part of the request (here it's only ``-f``
        asking HTTPie to send a form request).
        
        The two modes, ``--pretty=all`` (default for terminal) and ``--pretty=none``
        (default for redirected output), allow for both user-friendly interactive use
        and usage from scripts, where HTTPie serves as a generic HTTP client.
        
        As HTTPie is still under heavy development, the existing command line
        syntax and some of the ``--OPTIONS`` may change slightly before
        HTTPie reaches its final version ``1.0``. All changes are recorded in the
        `changelog`_.
        
        
        ==========
        Contribute
        ==========
        
        Bug reports and code and documentation patches are greatly appretiated. You can
        also help by using the development version of HTTPie and reporting any bugs you
        might encounter.
        
        Before working on a new feature or a bug, please browse the `existing issues`_
        to see whether it has been previously discussed. If the change in question
        is a bigger one, it's always good to discuss before your starting working on
        it.
        
        Then fork and clone `the repository`_.
        
        It's very useful to point the ``http`` command to your local branch during
        development. To do so, install HTTPie with ``pip`` in editable mode:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            $ pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --editable .
        
        
        Please run the existing suite of tests before a pull request is submitted:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            python setup.py test
        
        
        `Tox`_ can also be used to conveniently run tests in all of the
        `supported Python environments`_:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            # Install tox
            pip install tox
        
            # Run tests
            tox
        
        
        Don't forget to add yourself to `AUTHORS.rst`_.
