http-requester launch the interactive shell, like http-requester --shell
http-requester <file> load a config file, like http-requester --config <file>
http-requester <url> GET the url, like http-requester --method get --url <url>
http-requester <method> <url> request the url, like http-requester --method <method> --url <url>

Available interactive shell commands:

show or s

	List the details of the request about to be performed.

request or req
```
	Perform the request.
```

	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`

	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.
```

	List all known sub-resources of the current path, just like the UNIX 'ls' command does.
