This is great package, thanks for sharing your work!

As I've been using it couple of days I noticed that it's quite inconvenient, having to repeatedly change request settings every time I want to send different request.
The option of saving current state of request would solve the problem.

Given this output of httpie post:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/oauth/token> http --form --style native POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/oauth/token user_id==value client_id=value client_secret=value grant_type=password password=test  username=testuser1 Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded

We could use eg.: http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/oauth/token> alias getToken

which would save the request under getToken keyword. Later, we could call getToken request and optionally overwrite any req options like so:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/oauth/token> getToken username=testuser2 password=test2

From the debug log:

Refactor PR #73.

• Cover more edge cases
• Add more test cases
• Make code more Pythonic
• Abandon JSON in favor of "http-prompt script" for persistent context
• Fix an autocomplete bug

@fogine Would you like to review it?

We should support somehow sending request body data as raw string. Without the requirement of providing key=value pair. This is related to jkbrzt/httpie#399 . In the httpie library, the issue is solved by command input redirection... Eg.:

echo 'some string value' | http POST example.com/person/1

Which sort of complicates things for this library... I'm not sure how we should approach this.

• [x] Execute any strings in backticks as shell commands
• [x] Shell command lexer (syntax highlighting)
• [x] Shell command completer
• [x] Sync with master and resolve conflicts

Solves #70

Adds new commands: env, source, exec
Adds output redirection feature:

> post query==value > /tmp/request.log # writes response to the file
> post query==value >> /tmp/request.log # appends response to the file ( or creates a new file if it does not exists)
> post query==value | tee [-a,--append] /tmp/request.log # appends or writes to the files and simultaneously prints the response to a console

Changed behavior of automatic context saving... It saves only current session to single file. It's like backup of a unsaved session.

Covered by tests Readme file with starting guide updated... so it reflects the new features

Httpie supports sending multiple querystring args with the same key. http-prompt uses a dict behind the scenes and therefore only calls Httpie with a single value:

http://localhost:6543/testing> httpie get par==1 par==2
http GET http://localhost:6543/testing par==2

This should result in:

http://localhost:6543/testing> httpie get par==1 par==2
http GET http://localhost:6543/testing par==1 par==2

I patched jonathanslenders's works into the latest source.

I don't know why this update stop for a long time, and creating new pull request is good manner or not, but I think http-prompt works with prompt_tookit 2.0.x is things I need.

Almost changes is the same as jonathanslenders's. I added only information message for KeyboardInterrupt exception on http_prompt/cli.py:169.

These are the changes required for upgrading to prompt_toolkit 2.0 once it's released.

Do you need asynchronous autocompletion or not? By default, completion is synchronous, but we can make it async if completion takes too much time.

Not sure if this is something appropriate in the repo, but I'm a fan of leveraging docker for running tools.

To build:

docker build -t http-prompt .

and to run:

docker run -it --rm http-prompt

If this is appropriate, next steps would be setting up an automated build on docker/hub that would build on every merge etc. I've done that already for my fork here https://hub.docker.com/r/frosforever/http-prompt/. The image can be pulled down and run via:

docker run -it --rm frosforever/http-prompt

See https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/ for the steps required to set up an automated build.

Current code expect Path object to contain only method/Operation declaration. Path object may contain $ref, summary, description, servers and parameters entries.

If available, this entries are default values to apply children Operation.

This fix drops unused entries ($ref, summary, description, servers) and merge parameters:

• unicity based on name/in unicity
• Operation value takes precedence

This fix allows to parse spec file attached with #172

Function get_response has been removed at https://github.com/httpie/httpie/commit/bece3c77bb51ecc55dcc4008375dc29ccd91575c . So that the tracing in https://github.com/httpie/http-prompt/pull/71/files#diff-0cd13edf0d54ff93c4d296836ba8d5a69462b2d7f33113b9e0fb92a9af980803R297 is no longer work.

I would like to make life easier for HTTP Prompt maintainers by implementing Uffizzi previews. Disclaimer: I work on Uffizzi Uffizzi is a Open Source full stack previews engine and is completely free for HTTP Prompt (and all open source projects). This will provide maintainers with previews of their PRs in the cloud, allowing them iterate faster and reduce time to merge.

TODO:

• [ ] Intial POC

I don't know python but I do know several other languages so could someone tell me how do I remove the pager? what specific file or line would be appreciative as I use my own scrollbar and buffer and do NOT want to use more or less or anything I just want it to display the results at the bottom

It is a tiny bug but it is annoying.

It is related with #208 .

The command line long param runs fine:

$ http-prompt --version
2.1.0
$

But the short command line fails:

$ http-prompt -v
Version: 2.1.0
http://-v>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
Goodbye!

It is a tiny bug but it is annoying.

I have the version:

$ http-prompt --version
2.1.0

I write a example without --auth :

$ http-prompt --spec=http://127.0.0.1:8080/v2/api-docs
Version: 2.1.0
https://127.0.0.1:8080/>                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Goodbye!
mdtrooper@laptop:~$

And it is with --auth :

$ http-prompt --spec=http://127.0.0.1:8080/v2/api-docs --auth=foo:bar
Version: 2.1.0
http://--auth=foo:bar>                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
Goodbye!

It would be nice to be able to set variables for a future request (or cd to a path) based on the previous response data. Something like JSONpath syntax would be simple yet effective:

Response body:

{
  "id": "17f96808-886a-452e-bbc7-956d27c6cd9d",
  ...
}

> fooId=$.id

> cd $.id
