    As a daily curl user, this made me interested in trying out postman.

      There are less bloated alternatives I prefer. Like Bruno, which is easy/easier to version control.

    Command line escaping is an annoying son of a bitch and different rules apply depending if you’re using bash, cmd, powershell.

    I’m very early stages on making my own TUI for http requests that’s shortcut based. Idea is to use Jetbrains format http files. Folders for projects, sidebar for requests etc.

    Supports environments and I’m hoping I can set up the main screen to use Vim.

    It’s born out of postman hate mostly. It’s just so bloated

    Generally not a big fan of this type of writing especially when it’s so wrong.

    I’m an old software dev who grew up with curl but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone new. It’s extremely dated UX that takes a long time to figure all of the quirks out. You will fail thousand times over and is a http client CLI really worth days of your time learning?

    Libcurl itself is brilliant but there are much better front ends for it like hurl or alternatives like httpie - use those instead.

      Same here, though last time I used a nice frontend was in 2010s, it stopped being developed like all these smaller projects finally end up, and I’m back to using curl. Perhaps it’s time to try again, httpie has been around for a while so maybe it’s here to stay

      Be glad you don’t know what Postman is.

      The only reason I bother is because some PMs want to use it.

      they are different things, wget and curl do not have many overlapping use cases other than downloading stuff over http

    That’s great. I like a GUI. I also do not like whatever postman is. So I have to suffer until I find something that works for me

        Bruno Looks interesting. I think the last time I read about it it was very new, I might need to give it another try. I hope it will not end up like postman or insomnia.

        The first thing I see when opening the httpie app website is a “we now have ai” pop-up. So probably not that one.

    curl is obviously fantastic but for more complex ad-hoc requests I usually prefer httpie.
