#4This is very nice. I'm working on something similar as part of my build process so that I can more directly notice changes as they are made in markup, and catch changes that I didn't expect.
The issue I've hit, that you may want to consider, is a suppression list of sorts. The ability to silence diffs on things that look like dates for example would be rather valuable.

#5I recently did this manually by piping responses to a temp file called before and after, and then using vimdiff as my differ which proved quite effective.
This tool looks great, but would not have worked with my particular use case, which was doing some migration of user data, and diffing the user accounts to make sure that they had changed in the expected way.
It might be an idea to add the ability to query the same host twice, but have a user input trigger when to test each host.

diff &1) &1)

1. You need Go
2a. Type 'make'. It will build the binary and place it in bin/
2b. Use the go tool chain directly to build. Does the same thing as 2a.Re: httpdiff – diff responses to two HTTP/HTTPS requests
#10The Unix way: diff &1) &1) As a shell function: httpdiff () { diff &1) &1) } httpdiff https://news.ycombinator.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/
Which works well for that one example. But not others.
