A whole request body can be passed in via **``stdin``** instead, in which case it will be used with no further processing::
echo '{"name": "John"}' | http PATCH example.com/person/1 X-API-Token:123

http -b GET https://api.github.com/repos/jkbr/httpie | http POST httpbin.org/post
The above can be further simplified by omitting ``GET`` and ``POST`` because they are both default here. The first command has no request data, whereas the second one does via ``stdin``::
http -b https://api.github.com/repos/jkbr/httpie | http httpbin.org/post
