Response ​

Responses can also be specified within an http file. This feature is mainly intended for documentation purposes.

Response Documentation ​

Once a line starts with HTTP/{version}} , the following content is interpreted as a response and parsed.

HTTP
GET https://httpbin.org/get

HTTP/1.1 200 - OK
date: Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:38:05 GMT
content-type: application/json
content-length: 295
connection: close
server: gunicorn/19.9.0
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-credentials: true

{
  "args": {},
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",
    "User-Agent": "httpyac",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-60d0ea9d-3dfb873f497a9e6d50b2eccc"
  },
  "origin": "79.243.57.74",
  "url": "https://httpbin.org/get"
}

WARNING

The response is not used further in the program. Instead, it is only used to initially set up the display in httpbook correctly, for example.

Output Redirection ​

httpYac canc redirect response body to a custom file. It supports two operators:

  • >> operator always creates a new file, adding an -n suffix to a file name if the requested file name already exists.
HTTP
GET  https://httpbin.org/anything

>> ./outputRedirection.json
  • >>! operator overrides the file, if it already exists.
HTTP
GET  https://httpbin.org/anything

>>! ./outputRedirection.json
