.httpierc file

It would be great to have a dot-rc file somewhere to specify default command line parameters. For instance, if I want to have the default be https instead of http, instead of having to specify it every time as --default-scheme=https, adding

default-scheme=https

to some config file would rock.

Additionally, having a [DEFAULT] and multiple individual [HOST] blocks would be awesome, and pretty easy to do with configparser.

Hi @DNSGeek,

It would be great to have a dot-rc file somewhere to specify default command line parameters.

You can create ~/.config/httpie/config.json and put your default options there. For example:

$ cat ~/.config/httpie/config.json

{"default_options": ["--style=fruity"]}

For instance, if I want to have the default be https instead of http, instead of having to specify it every time as --default-scheme=https

HTTPie now actually also ships with an https command, where https:// is the default prefix:

$ https httpie.org

Additionally, having a [DEFAULT] and multiple individual [HOST] blocks would be awesome

This is achievable via sessions.
