This command would hang forever: ```console $ echo test > test.txt $ http -x httpbin.org/post @test.txt ``` HTTPie would read the file, compress it, then discard the compressed data because it's larger than the original. This made `request.body` an exhausted file handle, which `requests` doesn't seem to like. |

HTTPie CLI: human-friendly HTTP client for the API era
HTTPie (pronounced aitch-tee-tee-pie) is a command-line HTTP client.
Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible.
HTTPie is designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs & HTTP servers.
The http & https commands allow for creating and sending arbitrary HTTP requests.
They use simple and natural syntax and provide formatted and colorized output.
