show or* s
List the details of the request about to be performed.
request or* req
Perform the request.
* <protocol>://<host>[:<port>][/<path>]
Parse the full URL and set the protocol, host, port and path.
E.g.: > http://localhost:8080/blog/index.html
* host <hostname>[:<port>]
Set the host and port to connect to.
E.g.: > host localhost:8080
* port <port>
Set the port to connect to.
* protocol http|https|ws
Set the protocol to use.
* method <HTTP method>
Set the HTTP method.
* cd <path>
Modify the path just like the shell 'cd' command does.
Start the path with a '/' to set the absolute path, otherwise it moves relative to the current path.
It does NOT modify the query-string part of the URL.
E.g.: > cd blog , > cd .. , > cd ../../blog/index.html , > cd /index.html , ...
* ? <query string>
Set the query string part of the URL.
Use a single ? alone to erase the query string.
E.g.: > ? , > ?key=value , > ?key1=value1&key2=value2 , ...
* headers.<header> <value>
Set a HTTP header.
E.g.: > headers.Content-type: text/html
* <header>: <value>
The shortest way to set a HTTP header.
E.g.: > Content-type: text/html`
* auth <user>:<password>
Basic authentication to compute an Authorization header.
* body <body string>
Set the body of the request.
* body
Set the body of the request, using the multi-line mode.
* timeout <ms>
Set the request timeout in ms.
* clear [headers|auth|body]
Clear headers, auth or body, without argument: clear both.
* autoclear [headers|auth|body]
Autoclear headers, auth or body after each request, without argument: just check.
* autocookie
Turn autocookie on/off.
* beautify
Turn beautify on/off for JSON body.
* ls
List all known sub-resources of the current path, just like the UNIX 'ls' command does.
