Purpose

A command line interface to identify HTTP statuses from status codes (i.e. 200) or status names (i.e. I'm a teapot).

Installation

Install via NPM (the -g flag will install the package globally):

npm install http-status-identifier-cli -g

Usage

The command to identify HTTP statuses is hs.

It expects a list of HTTP status codes or HTTP status names. It will return a table containing the HTTP status names, HTTP status codes, and the meaning of the specified HTTP statuses.

If the -f (or --fullDescription) flag is included, an additional supplementary information field is included that provides even more information into the HTTP status. Sometimes, this field is empty if there is no additional information.

If the -d of (--documentation) flag is included, your default browser will open the documentation pages for each of the specified HTTP statuses.

The -h (or --help) flag is useful if you ever need help.
