Curl-like HTTP Client

This is a simple curl-like HTTP client implemented in Python. It allows you to send HTTP requests to a specified URL and receive the response.

I created this program was designed based on a challenge on the "Coding Challenges" website: https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-curl

Usage

To use this program, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure you have Python installed on your machine.

2. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.

3. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the project directory.

4. Execute the program by running the following command:

   python main.py [options] url
   

   Replace [options] with any of the following:

   • -v or --verbose: Enable verbose output.
   • -X METHOD or --method METHOD: Specify the HTTP method (default is GET).
   • -d DATA or --data DATA: Specify the data to send in the request body.
   • -H HEADER or --header HEADER: Specify additional headers.

   Replace url with the URL to send the request to.

5. The program will send the HTTP request and display the response.

Examples

Here are some examples of how to use the program:

• Send a GET request to a URL:

  python main.py -v -X GET https://example.com/get
  

• Send a POST request with data and headers:

  python main.py -v -X POST https://example.com/post -d '{"key": "value"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  

• Enable verbose output:

  python main.py -v https://example.com/get
