Curlr

Simple CLI tool to query endpoints like you would do via wget or curl, except this has a sane api and it's 50 LoC :D - coded in year 2014

Sample usage:

ruby .../path_to/curlr.rb http://makevoid.com

Sample usage:

(Note: you need to alias the command as there is no curlr gem)

curlr http://makevoid.com

shorthand for:

curlr get http://emberjs.com

then you can pass parameters with get:

curlr get http://jquery.com/?whatever=tue

and of course, make a post request

curlr post http://jquery.com/?param1=123&param2=abc

Alias set up

edit your bashrc / zshrc and add

alias curlr="ruby ./path/to/curlr.rb"

improvements:

• implement put / delete / patch
• follow redirects
• request caching
• make it a gem, automagically install the binary

(:D)

I coded this long time ago (omg 2014!), as there are a tons of libs I don't think I need to work on this anymore :D. I recommend using Excon and net/http (stdlib).
