What's the best way to make a CLI HTTP request for testing APIs? or How do you handle authentication

If you're new to CLI HTTP requests, I'd recommend checking out httpie—it's like curl but way more intuitive for API testing.

For JSON payloads, just do:
`http POST api.example.com/data name=foo age:=25`
The `:=` forces it as JSON.

Headers are easy too:
`http GET api.example.com/data Authorization:"Bearer token"`

Way cleaner than curl imo.
