hitt
hitt is a command line HTTP testing tool focused on speed and simplicity.
Install
hitt can be installed using Cargo.
cargo install hitt
If you do not have Cargo installed, you need to install it first.
Usage
To send a request create a file ending in .http
.
The syntax of .http
files is pretty straightforward:
GET https://mhouge.dk/
The file can then be run using the following command:
hitt run <PATH_TO_FILE>
That is all that is need to send a request.
Arguments
Argument | Description |
---|---|
--var <KEY>=<VALUE> |
Variables to pass to request |
--recursive |
Run all files in directory |
--fail-fast |
Exit on status code 4XX or 5xx |
--hide-headers |
Hide response headers |
--hide-body |
Hide response body |
--timeout <TIMEOUT_MS> |
Request timeout in ms |
Request headers
Request headers can be added by writing key value pairs (KEY:VALUE
) on a new line after the method and URL:
GET https://mhouge.dk/
key:value
Leading spaces in the header value is ignored, so KEY: VALUE
and KEY:VALUE
will both have the value VALUE
.
Request body
A body can be sent with the request by creating a blank line, followed by the desired body input.
Please note, hitt does not infer content type. That has to be written as a header.
POST https://mhouge.dk/
content-type:application/json
{
"key": "value"
}
Multiple request in single file
Multiple requests can be written in a single file by adding a line with ###
as a separator:
GET https://mhouge.dk/
###
GET https://mhouge.dk/
Variables
hitt has support for request variables.
A variable can be set in a file using the following syntax @name = VALUE
. Whitespace is ignored.
Variables are used by wrapping the name in curly brackets ({{ name }}
).
@variable_name = localhost
GET {{ variable_name }}/api
In-file variables are not shared between other files.
Variable arguments
Variables can be passed to all requests using the --var <KEY>=<VALUE>
argument:
# file.http
GET {{ host }}/api
The file can the be run:
hitt run --var host=localhost:5000 file.http
Neovim
hitt can be run directly from Neovim.
[!NOTE] The
hitt
executable must be available in your path for the plugin to work.
Install
Lazy
local hitt_plugin = {
"hougesen/hitt",
opts = {},
}
Usage
The plugin exposes a single command :HittSendRequest
, which can be bound to a keymap like this:
-- ~/.config/nvim/after/plugin/hitt.lua
local hitt = require("hitt")
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>rr", hitt.HittSendRequest, {})

window_width | 80 | Window width in percentage |
window_height | 80 | Window height in percentage |
fail_fast | false | Enables the --fail-fast options |
Disclaimer
hitt is most likely not ready for main stream usage. I (Mads Hougesen) am primarily developing it based on features I believe to be useful, or fun to develop.
