Title: I just published a first release of a new console app called htty. I like to think it’s something of a cross between curl and the Lynx browser.<p>Some bullet points:<p>* Intuitive commands and command aliases
* Support for familiar HTTP methods GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, as well as HEAD, OPTIONS and TRACE
* Automatic URL-encoding of query-string parameters and URL fragments
* Transcripts, both verbose and summary
* Dead-simple cookie handling and redirect following
* Built-in help<p>Why do this when the admirable Node.js-based http-console exists? To begin with, not everybody is into Node yet, and so installing http-console is not as simple as 'gem install htty'. Furthermore, http-console's spare UI is not as full-featured as it might be.<p>I have some killer features in mind for the near future. Fork and contribute!
