HTTPie fills the request's body with stdin, so it's easy to send raw text or JSON with echo '{...}' | http POST example.com like here: Sending nested JSON object using HTTPie.
http-prompt is a handy CLI interface for http and it allows setting body parameters like this:
> user=foo
or also in raw JSON:
> user:=foo
Which set the body to {"user": "foo"} upon sending.
But how can I send string {"user": "foo"} as the body directly?
- As a text like
echo '{"user": "foo"}' | http POST http://example.com - As a file like
curl --data '@/path/to/file' http://example.com
