(httpie) $ pip install httpie ... (httpie) $ deactivate $ alias http=~/.virtualenvs/httpie/bin/http $ http -b GET https://httpbin.org/get { "args": {}, "headers": { "Accept": "*/*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", "Host": "httpbin.org", "User-Agent": "HTTPie/1.0.2" }, "origin": "104.220.242.210, 104.220.242.210", "url": "https://httpbin.org/get" } ``` 通过将 `http` 别名指向为虚拟环境中的命令，即使虚拟环境在非活动状态，你也可以运行它。你可以将 `alias` 命令放在 `.bash_profile` 或 `.bashrc` 中，这样你就可以使用以下命令升级 HTTPie： ``` $ ~/.virtualenvs/httpie/bin/pip install -U pip ``` ### 使用 HTTPie 查询网站 HTTPie 可以简化查询和测试 API。上面使用了一个选项，`-b`（即 `--body`）。没有它，HTTPie 将默认打印整个响应，包括响应头： ``` $ http GET https://httpbin.org/get HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Connection: keep-alive Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 177 Content-Type: application/json Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2019 20:19:47 GMT Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block { "args": {}, "headers": { "Accept": "*/*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", "Host": "httpbin.org", "User-Agent": "HTTPie/1.0.2" }, "origin": "104.220.242.210, 104.220.242.210", "url": "https://httpbin.org/get" } ``` 这在调试 API 服务时非常重要，因为大量信息在响应头中发送。例如，查看发送的 cookie 通常很重要。httpbin.org 提供了通过 URL 路径设置 cookie（用于测试目的）的方式。以下设置一个标题为 `opensource`， 值为 `awesome` 的 cookie： ``` $ http GET https://httpbin.org/cookies/set/opensource/awesome HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 223 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2019 20:22:39 GMT Location: /cookies Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx Set-Cookie: opensource=awesome; Path=/ X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Redirecting...

Redirecting...

You should be redirected automatically to target URL: /cookies. If not click the link. ``` 注意 `Set-Cookie: opensource=awesome; Path=/` 的响应头。这表明你预期设置的 cookie 已正确设置，路径为 `/`。另请注意，即使你得到了 `302` 重定向，`http` 也不会遵循它。如果你想要遵循重定向，则需要明确使用 `--follow` 标志请求： ``` $ http --follow GET https://httpbin.org/cookies/set/opensource/awesome HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Connection: keep-alive Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 66 Content-Type: application/json Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 01:33:34 GMT Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block { "cookies": { "opensource": "awesome" } } ``` 但此时你无法看到原来的 `Set-Cookie` 头。为了看到中间响应，你需要使用 `--all`： ``` $ http --headers --all --follow GET https://httpbin.org/cookies/set/opensource/awesome HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 01:38:40 GMT Location: /cookies Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx Set-Cookie: opensource=awesome; Path=/ X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Content-Length: 223 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Type: application/json Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 01:38:41 GMT Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Content-Length: 66 Connection: keep-alive ``` 打印响应体并不有趣，因为你大多数时候只关心 cookie。如果你想看到中间请求的响应头，而不是最终请求中的响应体，你可以使用： ``` $ http --print hb --history-print h --all --follow GET https://httpbin.org/cookies/set/opensource/awesome HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 01:40:56 GMT Location: /cookies Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx Set-Cookie: opensource=awesome; Path=/ X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Content-Length: 223 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Type: application/json Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 01:40:56 GMT Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Content-Length: 66 Connection: keep-alive { "cookies": { "opensource": "awesome" } } ``` 你可以使用 `--print` 精确控制打印的内容（`h`：响应头；`b`：响应体），并使用 `--history-print` 覆盖中间请求的打印内容设置。 ### 使用 HTTPie 下载二进制文件 有时响应体并不是文本形式，它需要发送到可被不同应用打开的文件： ``` $ http GET https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 35588 Content-Type: image/jpeg Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2019 20:25:49 GMT Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block +-----------------------------------------+ | NOTE: binary data not shown in terminal | +-----------------------------------------+ ``` 要得到正确的图片，你需要保存到文件： ``` $ http --download GET https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 35588 Content-Type: image/jpeg Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2019 20:28:13 GMT Referrer-Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Server: nginx X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Downloading 34.75 kB to "jpeg.jpe" Done. 34.75 kB in 0.00068s (50.05 MB/s) ``` 试一下！图片很可爱。 ### 使用 HTTPie 发送自定义请求 你可以发送指定的请求头。这对于需要非标准头的自定义 Web API 很有用： ``` $ http GET https://httpbin.org/headers X-Open-Source-Com:Awesome { "headers": { "Accept": "*/*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", "Host": "httpbin.org", "User-Agent": "HTTPie/1.0.2", "X-Open-Source-Com": "Awesome" } } ``` 最后，如果要发送 JSON 字段（尽管可以指定确切的内容），对于许多嵌套较少的输入，你可以使用快捷方式： ``` $ http --body PUT https://httpbin.org/anything open-source=awesome author=moshez { "args": {}, "data": "{\"open-source\": \"awesome\", \"author\": \"moshez\"}", "files": {}, "form": {}, "headers": { "Accept": "application/json, */*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", "Content-Length": "46", "Content-Type": "application/json", "Host": "httpbin.org", "User-Agent": "HTTPie/1.0.2" }, "json": { "author": "moshez", "open-source": "awesome" }, "method": "PUT", "origin": "73.162.254.113, 73.162.254.113", "url": "https://httpbin.org/anything" } ``` 下次在调试 Web API 时，无论是你自己的还是别人的，记得放下 cURL，试试 HTTPie 这个命令行工具。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- via: https://opensource.com/article/19/8/getting-started-httpie 作者：[Moshe Zadka][a] 选题：[lujun9972][b] 译者：[geekpi](https://github.com/geekpi) 校对：[wxy](https://github.com/wxy) 本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 [a]: https://opensource.com/users/moshezhttps://opensource.com/users/mkalindepauleduhttps://opensource.com/users/jamesf [b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 [1]: https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/pie-raspberry-bake-make-food.png?itok=QRV_R8Fa (Raspberry pie with slice missing) [2]: https://httpie.org/ [3]: https://github.com/postmanlabs/httpbin [4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget [5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL [6]: https://opensource.com/article/19/6/virtual-environments-python-macos
