how to install and use resty command line client for interacting with rest services

Guide

install

You have curl, right? Okay.

    curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micha/resty/master/resty > resty

Source the script before using it.

      . resty

Once resty is installed, set your REST host to which you will be making your requests.

    resty http://127.0.0.1:8080/data
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/data*

And now you can Make some HTTP requests.

    $ GET /blogs.json
    [ {"id" : 1, "title" : "first post", "body" : "This is the first post"}, ... ]

    $ PUT /blogs/2.json '{"id" : 2, "title" : "updated post", "body" : "This is the new."}'
    {"id" : 2, "title" : "updated post", "body" : "This is the new."}

    $ DELETE /blogs/2

    $ POST /blogs.json '{"title" : "new post", "body" : "This is the new new."}'
    {"id" : 204, "title" : "new post", "body" : "This is the new new."}

usage

    source resty [-W] [remote] [OPTIONS]    # load functions into shell
      resty [-v]                              # prints current request URI base
      resty  [OPTIONS]                # sets the base request URI

      HEAD [path] [OPTIONS]                   # HEAD request
      OPTIONS [path] [OPTIONS]                # OPTIONS request
      GET [path] [OPTIONS]                    # GET request
      DELETE [path] [OPTIONS]                 # DELETE request
      PUT [path] [data] [OPTIONS]             # PUT request
      PATCH [path] [data] [OPTIONS]           # PATCH request
      POST [path] [data] [OPTIONS]            # POST request
      TRACE [path] [OPTIONS]                  # TRACE request

      Options:

      -Q            Don't URL encode the path.
      -q     Send query string with the path. A '?' is prepended to
                     and concatenated onto the .
      -W            Don't write to history file (only when sourcing script).
      -V            Edit the input data interactively in 'vi'. (PUT, PATCH,
                    and POST requests only, with data piped to stdin.)
      -Z            Raw output. This disables any processing of HTML in the
                    response.
      -v            Verbose output. When used with the resty command itself
                    this prints the saved curl options along with the current
                    URI base. Otherwise this is passed to curl for verbose
                    curl output.
      --dry-run     Just output the curl command.
          Any curl options will be passed down to curl.
