     http request cli tool in rust

rurl

rurl is like curl, but without all the complexity, usage features ... and sparkle. A barebones CLI tool for sending HTTP requests and receiving responses via JSON files. A handy, compact tool for testing or other purposes.

Features

• HTTP Methods: Supports common HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
• JSON Configuration: Utilizes JSON files to define request parameters like URL, headers, body, etc.
• Response Handling: Stores the HTTP response, including status code, headers, and body in a JSON file.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Rust installed on your system. If not, you can download it here.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/ezeKemm/rurl.git

2. Build the project:

    cd rurl
    cargo build --release

Usage

The CLI tool uses a JSON configuration file to specify the details of the HTTP request.

Examples:

A GET request get.json

{
   
"method": "GET",
"url": "https://api.example.com/users",
"headers": {
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  },
}

A POST request post.json

{
    "method": "POST",
    "url": "https://api.example.com/posts",
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "body": {
      "title": "New Post",
      "content": "This is the content of the new post."
    }
}

Save the JSON config file and run rurl in the command line

>> rurl post.json
