🌸 httpie — the manual page, bestie edition 💅

okay so you opened the httpie(1) manual and honestly? iconic. this is the HTTPie Manual and we're gonna walk through it together, no cap. grab a boba, we're doing this. 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

httpie — that's it, that's the whole name, she's simple and she's serving 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

httpie

just httpie. nothing else in the synopsis. the main character energy of it all. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so literally, this is the managing interface for the HTTPie itself. she manages. that's her job. 🎀

the docs live at <https://httpie.io/docs#manager> if you wanna go deeper, and honestly you should, the lore is real.

🚨 bestie WAIT. you might actually be looking for the http/https commands — y'know, the ones for sending HTTP requests? that's a whole different vibe. this command is only available for managing the HTTTPie plugins and the configuration around it. (yes. HTTTPie. three T's. we don't ask questions, we just respect the typo. 💀)

if you are looking for the man pages of the http/https commands, try one of these, they're lowkey the ones you want:

$ man http
$ man https

🔥 httpie cli export-args 🔥

Export available options for the CLI. like, dump the options out. very giving "here's my whole personality in a file."

  • -f, --format — the format to export in. that's the vibe. pick your format, slay. ✨

⭐ httpie cli check-updates ⭐

Check for updates. that's it. that's the whole thing. go see if there's something new to be obsessed with. 🫶

💜 httpie cli sessions upgrade 💜

Upgrade the given HTTPie session with the latest layout. glow-up time, fr fr. a list of changes between different session versions can be found in the official documentation, if you're nosy (respectfully). 📖

  • HOSTNAME — the host this session belongs. 🏠
  • SESSION_NAME_OR_PATH — the name or the path for the session that will be upgraded. name or path, she's flexible like that. 💅
  • --bind-cookies — bind domainless cookies to the host that session belongs. them cookies got no home? we're giving them one. 🍪

🌸 httpie cli sessions upgrade-all 🌸

Upgrade all named sessions with the latest layout. not one, not two — ALL of them. mass glow-up. a list of changes between different session versions can be found in the official documentation. 👑

  • --bind-cookies — bind domainless cookies to the host that session belongs. same energy, every session. 🍪
