HTTPie CLI: human-friendly HTTP client for the API era

HTTPie (pronounced aitch-tee-tee-pie) is a command-line HTTP client. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible. HTTPie is designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs & HTTP servers. The http & https commands allow for creating and sending arbitrary HTTP requests. They use simple and natural syntax and provide formatted and colorized output.

httpie-aws-auth's Issues

Thoughts of using credentials file?

Have you thought about adding support for the credentials file, which you can control via the AWS_PROFILE environmental variable? I like using the credentials file as all my creds are in one place and I can easily change between them.

HTTPie compatibility broken

It seems like the plugin is trying to import ExitStatus directly from the outermost httpie namespace while it currently does not support that (probably supported in an older version)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/httpie", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

support Signature Version 4

It seems this library only supports the old AWS signature version 2 protocol, and not version 4. Is that right?

httpie dependency not pinned

httpie dependency is defined as

httpie-aws-auth/setup.py

Line 26 in bc2435c

'httpie>=0.9.7',

httpie is now at 2.6.0 and many things have changed since 0.9.7. This causes issues such as #3.

There is another compatibility issue. This import also doesn't exist in 2.6.0

httpie-aws-auth/httpie_aws_auth.py

Line 10 in bc2435c

from httpie.compat import bytes

I believe the right way to fix this is to pin the dependency to a specific version (or a range of known good versions).
