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.

D'oh! HTTPie doesn't support SNI

Requests does use an ordered dictionary for handling headers.

Requests might but that's irrelevant. Requests is built on top of urllib3 which is built on top of httplib which does use a plain dict. Also the relevant RFC says order is irrelevant.

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.
