Includes tab completion, history, context persistence, cookies and other tasty morsels.
Webshell supports all of the HTTP verbs in a simple to use syntax. The response’s #status code (and the requested URL) are printed. #Headers are expanded to local variables, and they can be inspected. Additionally, if the response suggests a redirect to another URL, the $.follow() function can be called for easy location following.
http://localhost# GET http://google.com
HTTP 301 http://google.com
