# HTTPie-Windows

Stand-alone Windows binary for [HTTPie](https://github.com/jakubroztocil/httpie) version `2.1.0-dev`.

This executable is provided on the [release page](https://github.com/jftuga/HTTPie-Windows/releases).

I was able to successfully build a stand-alone `http.exe` binary inside of the `mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019` Docker container 

with `Python 3.7.6` and `PyInstaller 3.6`. 

`Docker Desktop 2.1.0.5` was also used.

**How to build**

Outside the Docker container:

    mkdir c:\temp\outside

    docker run -t -i --mount type=bind,src=c:\temp\outside,dst=c:\inside -w c:\ mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019

You are now inside the Docker container:

    curl -L https://aka.ms/nugetclidl -o nuget.exe

    set PATH=%PATH%;c:\python\tools;c:\python\tools\scripts;c:\GitForWindows\tools\cmd

    nuget install GitForWindows -ExcludeVersion

    set PYVER=3.7.6

    nuget install python -ExcludeVersion -Version %PYVER% -OutputDirectory .

    python -m pip install --no-warn-script-location PyInstaller

    python -m pip install pywin32

    git clone https://github.com/jakubroztocil/httpie.git

    cd httpie

    python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

    python setup.py build

    cd build\lib\httpie

    echo sys.exit(main())>> core.py

    pyinstaller -F --noupx -n http.exe core.py

    cd dist

    copy http.exe c:\inside

    exit

You are now outside of the Docker container:

    dir c:\temp\outside\http.exe

The resulting `http.exe` has a file size of `11,600,755`.
