httpie - Python-powered HTTP CLI for humans

Although cURL is great, we’re always looking for great console tools for working with HTTP. Jakub Roztocil has released HTTPie. Built on Requests, HTTPie provides a clean command line interface for HTTP requests:

http PATCH api.example.com/person/1 X-API-Token:123 name=John email=john@example.org

PATCH /person/1 HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: HTTPie/0.1
X-API-Token: 123
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{"name": "John", "email": "john@example.org"}

I appreciate the colored terminal output:
