httprepl.el allows you to interactively make HTTP requests at a REPL-like UI within Emacs.

Installation

Firstly, httprepl requires the following dependencies:

You should install these anyway, they make working with elisp much more comfortable.

Drop this package somewhere on your load-path or

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/path/to/httprepl.el/"))

Then

(require 'httprepl)

To get started, run M-x httprepl

Check out M-x customize-group httprepl for configuration.

This has been tested on Emacs 24.3 on Linux and Mac OS X.

Features

  • Make HTTP requests using Emacs built in url package. This should work for environments without curl.
  • Make HTTP requests using curl.
  • Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD, PATCH, TRACE and CONNECT requests.
  • Supports adding extra headers.
  • Supports adding inline request bodies.
  • Supports opening responses in a new buffer using C-c C-c. Based on the content-type of the response a sequence of functions can be applied to this buffer. This allows for syntax-highlighting, pretty-printing, whatever really.

Screenshots

The screenshot shows a sample REPL session. A PUT request with an extra header and a body is executed. The response is then opened in a buffer. As you can see, the content type is detected and the buffer is put in to js-mode with the response headers commented out.
