hit

Make and manage HTTP requests

Hit is a command-line program that makes it easy to build HTTP requests using plain-text files and execute them.

Some features include:

• authoring HTTP requests using plain-text files
• using output of one HTTP request as input to the next request
• define request templates that can be dynamically populated
• execute complex workflows by changing the execution order of requests and using inbuilt cache to inject a subset of response into a request
• Combine responses from multiple requests and send them in a single request
