httpaws 0.0.1

Directly make HTTP calls to AWS service endpoints using the requsts and aws-requests-auth modules.

This is a low-level command-line tool intended for use by developers so that they can easily make direct HTTP calls
to AWS services. It is effectively a command-line programmatic replacement for using a graphical tool like Postman
(https://www.getpostman.com) and was inspired by tools like HTTPie (https://httpie.org) but is specific to AWS services.

WARNING: This tool is intended for development and educational purposes. It is NOT intended for robust and reliable
administration of AWS services. For interaction with production AWS services, it is highly recommended that you use an
officially supported tool specifically designed for that purpose such as any of the following:
- AWS Console
* https://aws.amazon.com
- AWS CLI
* https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
- AWS Shell
* https://github.com/awslabs/aws-shell
- AWS SDK for Python (boto3)
* https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-python/

Description: # httpAWS: a CLI, [cURL](https://curl.haxx.se)-like tool for [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com) services

httpAWS is a command line HTTP client for AWS services. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with AWS web services as
human-friendly as possible. It provides a simple ``httpaws`` command that allows for sending HTTP requests to AWS
services using a simple and natural syntax, and displays colorized output. httpAWS can be used for testing, debugging,
and generally interacting direly with AWS services with HTTP requests.

httpAWS directly makes HTTP calls to AWS service endpoints using the [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org) and
[aws-requests-auth](https://github.com/DavidMuller/aws-requests-auth) modules.

This is a low-level command-line tool intended for use by developers so that they can easily make direct HTTP calls
