Not > surprisingly, there actually _is_ one in Fedora -- try `yum install > /usr/bin/http`. And it actually looks kind of nice. It's got colors. :) A colorized curl! :) BTW 'HTTPie' is a cool name, why change it in 'http'!? The [d]aemons ending with 'd' regarding a naming scheme are OK, e.g. /usr/sbin/smb[d] /usr/sbin/ssh[d] /usr/sbin/http[d] /usr/sbin/vsftp[d] /usr/sbin/rpc.gss[d] /usr/sbin/rpc.nfs[d] /usr/kerberos/sbin/ftp[d] /usr/kerberos/sbin/telnet[d] others with original names, e.g. /usr/sbin/dropbear and other less original, e.g /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server are also OK. The clients who distinguish from the protocols are also OK, e.g. /usr/bin/lynx /usr/bin/lftp /usr/bin/links /usr/bin/elinks /usr/bin/putty /usr/bin/puttytel /usr/bin/dbclient /usr/bin/smbclient All other apparently confuse people! :) poma -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
