非常不错的Nodejs工具:http-console

http-console是一个用nodejs写的类似于CURL的第三方库文件.
可以很直观的发送http请求以及查看返回结果. 安装需求:
1, 安装nodejs
2, 安装npm
3, npm install http-console
我做了个简单的例子:
启动: http-console 127.0.0.1:3000
1, HTTP GET:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/> GET /home

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Etag: "5c7fa0cae55818cafc847a65e4bcb794"
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 01:33:40 GMT
Server: WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.7/2010-01-10)
X-Runtime: 13
Content-Length: 36
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate

{ status: 'OK'}

2, HTTP POST:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/> POST /login
... username=weekface&password=1234
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Etag: "5c7fa0cae55818cafc847a65e4bcb794"
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 01:33:40 GMT
Server: WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.7/2010-01-10)
X-Runtime: 13
Content-Length: 36
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate

{ status: 'OK', username: "weekface"}

3, 还可以轻松的设置Headers, 保存cookies, 使用SSL等等. 比如如果我这样启动http-console: http-console 127.0.0.1:3000 --cookies 这样就会保存服务器端设置的cookies

http://127.0.0.1:3000/> \cookies
