There are a couple of default headers that HTTPie sets. I'm wondering if there is a way to remove some header, like Accept-Encoding
?
The reason I like to unset Accept-Encoding
is to check our server's behavior about HTTP Compression.
Add the Headers follow by a colon.
http -v https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1 \
Accept: \
Accept-Encoding: \
Connection: \
Host: \
User-Agent:
Request:
GET /todos/1 HTTP/1.1
Host: jsonplaceholder.typicode.com
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
http -v https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1
Request:
GET /todos/1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Host: jsonplaceholder.typicode.com
User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.8
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
The -v
option display the request. Also, remember no spaces after \
in multiline bash commands.
