# Install httpie

User-friendly cURL replacement (command-line HTTP client). Version 3.2.4 via Homebrew; verified 2026-05-21.

## Install

```sh
sudo av install brew:httpie
```

## Agent safety answer

httpie sends HTTP requests and can call authenticated APIs from local credentials.

- **Credential access:** Reads tokens, headers, cookies, netrc-style credentials, and request body files.
- **Remote mutation:** Can call arbitrary APIs that mutate remote systems.
- **Publish/artifact risk:** Can upload files or trigger deployment APIs.
- **Recommended control:** Gate authenticated requests, file uploads, and destructive HTTP methods.
- **Agent-use guidance:** Allow public GETs; require approval for credentialed requests, uploads, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.
