Very cool. I just checked it out. One question would be: How to use a value set in a header response in a form post?

ie: A login form requires sending a csrf_token, and i can get it out of the header instead of having to parse the html. (Set-Cookie: x_csrf_token=1463777564##e50acc406ebca9bbcad5218c3e0e96293752a830;)

Wow that is a really interest take.

prompt-toolkit looks great - I'd love something like that for go...

HTTPie supports "field:=json" syntax. HTTP Prompt doesn't support it now, but it's on my roadmap.

Good question. But as for now, you have to parse the HTML to get form hidden fields and then send it manually. I don't know if HTTPie supports that. If HTTPie or any of its plugins supports it, I'll consider adding this feature.
