* Response and connection times in status line

* Automatic json request body detector

* Automatic json/xml response formatter

* Separate buffers for response body, response headers and request

* DRY

## Install

vial-http is pathogen friendly and only requires vial to be installed:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle

    git clone https://github.com/baverman/vial.git

    git clone https://github.com/baverman/vial-http.git

or for Plug:

    Plug 'baverman/vial'

    Plug 'baverman/vial-http'

Note: vim should be compiled with python or python3 support.

## Docs

You need following options in your vimrc:

    set hidden

    filetype plugin on

`hidden` must be set because Vial-Http uses non-file temporary offscreen

buffers with response content and without `hidden` they will be empty.

`filetype plugin on` needed for default keymap working.

Keymap:

* `` executes request line under the cursor

* ``/`` cycle throw response/request/response headers windows

Commands:

* `:VialHttp` executes request line under the cursor

* `:VialHttpBasicAuth [username]` makes `Authorization` header
