I haven't looked at any code, but I would strongly suspect that it's because either HTTPie or python-requests is using a plain dictionary instead of an ordered dictionary under the hood.

That would appear to be a bug to me. When you want to see the headers of such a transaction you want to see them in the order in which they left the server. I checked the server and it looks like CURL has it right. Colorizing is one thing, reordering is quite another, debugging tools should show the situation with as much fidelity as possible.

Requests does use an ordered dictionary for handling headers.

This is one of the little known gems I recommend often. the readability difference is just amazing for me. On that note for those of us having to use Windows at the workplace there are a few things that make life easier: 1) Chocolatey (package manager) 2) HTTPie 3) ConEmu (Shell) 4) gow (Unix command line utilities in Windows) 5) WinMerge (win diff) 6) TortiseSVN 7) SourceTree (git) Makes day to day stuff much smooth…

I have moved away from windows and miss Fiddler the most. It's ability to record, filter, edit and replay requests made debugging a breeze.

I've been looking forward to having WinMerge on Linux for so long. I haven't found a good alternative on Linux which can do quick side-by-side comparison just by pasting from clipboard.

If you're on vim side - vimdiff does comparison just right. Though one'd need to tweak it to support comparing stuff from clipboard.

You (and anyone reading this great list of recommendations) should try cmder. It's a customized build of ConEmu with lots of goodies thrown in.

Try the proxy in Burp Suite. The free edition lets you do most of what you can do in Fiddler. More powerful in some ways, rougher around the edges in other ways.

It should as order is important.
