Very cool. I just checked it out. One question would be: How to use a value set in a header response in a form post?

ie: A login form requires sending a csrf_token, and i can get it out of the header instead of having to parse the html. (Set-Cookie: x_csrf_token=1463777564##e50acc406ebca9bbcad5218c3e0e96293752a830;)

Good question. But as for now, you have to parse the HTML to get form hidden fields and then send it manually. I don't know if HTTPie supports that. If HTTPie or any of its plugins supports it, I'll consider adding this feature.
Very cool tool. Thank you for sharing!
Hi, how do I POST nested JSON?
HTTPie supports "field:=json" syntax. HTTP Prompt doesn't support it now, but it's on my roadmap.
