HTTPie Rules

Configure HTTPie with a config.json file for default headers, output preferences, and SSL settings — keep configuration consistent across team members and environments.

Use HTTPie's print flags and output options correctly — separate headers from body for scripting, use --download for binary files, and pipe JSON output to jq for processing.

Use HTTPie named sessions to persist authentication headers, cookies, and custom headers across requests — organize sessions per environment and never commit session files with secrets.
