swirl v3.0.0

swirl

CLI for testing HTTP servers using a curl-like syntax. Powered by Unexpected and unexpected-http.

This basic selection of curl switches has been implemented, but nowhere near all of them:

• --header, -H
• --upload-file, -T
• --data, --data-ascii, -d
• --method, -X
• --cookie, -b
• --verbose, -v
• --silent, -s
• --cert
• --key
• --cacert
• --insecure, -k

File an issue if you need one that's not implemented.

Additionally, these switches are supported and/or work differently from regular curl:

• --html: Render the output in HTML format. My primary use case for this is getting colored output into my clipboard like this: swirl --html -v <url> | xclip -i -selection clipboard -t text/html
• --plugin <path>: Install the given Unexpected plugin
• -v: Dump the entire request and response, even if the expectations aren't met. "In spirit" this is the same as curl -v, but the format is quite different
