Request Items

ht uses HTTPie's request-item syntax to set headers, request body, query string, etc.

=/:= for setting the request body's JSON fields.
== for adding query strings.
@ for including files in multipart requests.
: for adding or removing headers e.g connection:keep-alive or connection:.
; for including headers with empty values e.g header-without-value;.

Examples

```sh

Send a GET request

ht httpbin.org/json

Send a POST request with body {"name": "ahmed", "age": 24}

ht httpbin.org/post name=ahmed age:=24

Send a GET request with querystring id=5&sort=true

ht get httpbin.org/json id==5 sort==true

Send a GET request and include a header named x-api-key with value 12345

ht get httpbin.org/json x-api-key:12345

Send a PUT request and pipe the result to less

ht put httpbin.org/put id:=49 age:=25 | less

Download and save to res.json

ht -d httpbin.org/json -o res.json ```
