Diehttp

Diehttp is a command-line tool designed for making HTTP requests. It allows users to interact with web servers and APIs directly from their terminal, facilitating testing, debugging, and automation of web-related tasks. The tool is known for its simplicity and focus on providing raw HTTP request and response data.

At its core, diehttp enables users to construct and send HTTP requests with customizable methods, headers, and bodies. It supports common HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and others. Users can specify target URLs, add custom headers to modify request behavior or provide authentication, and include request bodies for methods like POST or PUT.

The output of diehttp typically includes the full HTTP response, encompassing the status line, response headers, and the body of the response. This detailed output is valuable for developers and system administrators who need to inspect the precise communication between a client and a server. Its straightforward nature makes it a lightweight alternative to more feature-rich HTTP clients. Diehttp is often used in scripting environments where precise control over HTTP interactions is required, making it a useful utility for network troubleshooting and API development.
