Go implemented CLI cURL-like tool for humans. Bat can be used for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with HTTP servers.
This repository is a fork of astaxie/bat making it available for SCION/QUIC. Refer to the original repository for general usage.
bat <method> <url>
The scheme defaults to HTTPS -- HTTP is not supported. The method defaults to GET in case there is no data to be sent and to POST otherwise.
URLs can use SCION addresses or hostnames. Hostnames are resolved by scanning the /etc/hosts file or by a RAINS lookup (if configured) -- see the toplevel README.
