xh https://postman-echo.com/get

xh post https://postman-echo.com/post name=john age=25

Send a GET request with query parameters (e.g. <https://postman-echo.com/response-headers?foo1=bar1&foo2=bar2>)

xh get https://postman-echo.com/response-headers foo1==bar1 foo2==bar2

Send a GET request with a custom header

xh get https://postman-echo.com header-name:header-value

Make a GET request and save the response body to a file

xh [-d|--download] https://example.com [-o|--output] path/to/file

Construct a request but do not send it (similar to a dry-run)

xh --offline get|delete|... https://example.com

Show equivalent `curl` command (this will not send any request)

xh --curl|curl-long --follow --verbose get https://example.com user-agent:curl
