    Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests

    While not a rewrite - one recent tool for making http requests which i quite enjoy is:

    https://github.com/ducaale/xh

    It's basically python httpie rewritten in rust. my only gripe is that i keep forgetting that it exists - and that "xh" is for http and "xhs" is for https.

    So i frequently end up with curl anyway:)
