# HTTPony

HTTPony (pronounced aych-tee-tee-pony) is a simple HTTP server

that pretty prints HTTP requests to a terminal.

It is a useful aide for developing clients that send HTTP requests.

HTTPony acts as a sink for a client

so that a developer can understand what the client is sending.

For example, this HTTPie request:

```bash

$ http :8000/pony

HTTP/1.0 200 OK

Content-Length: 0

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 03:22:38 GMT

Server: HTTPony/0.1

```

Shows in HTTPony as:

```bash

$ httpony

Making all your dreams for a pony come true on http://localhost:8000.

Press Ctrl+C to quit.

GET /pony HTTP/1.1

Accept: */*

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

Connection: keep-alive

Host: localhost:8000

User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.2

```

Astute readers will point out that HTTPie can show request output with `-v`,

but HTTPony will output for any client that talks HTTP.

Many libraries do not quickly show their request output.

To get started:

```bash

$ pip install httpony

```

This project is heavily indebted to [HTTPie][pie].

Thanks for making a great alternative to cURL.
