vim-http-client's Introduction

This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=5140

== Pretty description and demo at https://github.com/aquach/vim-http-client ==

Make HTTP requests from Vim with the HTTP format you already know, rather than wrestling with curl -X POST -b cookie=$1 -F csrf_token=$2 -F "request={\"user_id\":123}" http://example.org! Then parse the results right in Vim, syntax highlighted the way you expect!

Usage

Put your cursor anywhere in a newline-delimited block of text and hit <Leader>tt. vim-http-client will parse the text into a HTTP request, execute it, and display its results will appear in a split. You can also directly invoke the HTTP client with :call HTTPClientDoRequest()<cr>. The format mirrors HTTP's format:

# Comments start with #.
# First request.
<method> <url>
<header-name-1>: <header-value-1>
<header-name-2>: <header-value-2>
...
<header-name-n>: <header-value-n>
<body>

# Second request.
<method> <url>
<header-name-1>: <header-value-1>
<header-name-2>: <header-value-2>
...
<header-name-n>: <header-value-n>
<body>
Depending on where you put your cursor, the first or second request will execute. You can also substitute variables anywhere in the request:

# Second request.
# :foo = bar
POST http://httpbin.org/post
{
  "data": ":foo",
  "otherkey": "hello"
}
Each variable lives in a separate commented line and always starts with a colon. Variables are substituted with simple string substitution.

If you'd like to pass form-encoded data, set your body like this:

<key-1>=<value-1>
<key-2>=<value-2>
...
<key-n>=<value-n>
See examples/examples.txt for more examples.

The output appears in a new split. Based on the Content-Type header of the HTTP response, vim-http-client chooses a filetype for syntax highlighting. It currently supports XML, JSON, and HTML; all others will get ft=text.

Configuration

g:http_client_bind_hotkey (default 1)

Controls whether or not <Leader>tt will run the HTTP client. Regardless of the setting, vim-http-client will not overwrite your existing <Leader>tt mapping if it exists.

Contributing

This plugin is currently quite simple. Contributions, suggestions, and feedback are all welcomed!
