line2httppost

Simple tool to read lines from stdin and post each line as separate POST request to a specified URL (TCP connection is reused though).

Good together with postsse, allowing to feed CLI tools output to it.

Features

• Connects to http and https, both http1 and http2.
• Logging of errors during connection or failed response statuses.

Limitations

• No advanced options like line delimiter
• It waits for reponse from server before sending the next line, so RTT affects thoughput.
• Each line is fully buffered prior to starting the request, no streaming/chunking.

Installation

Download pre-built executables from Github releases, install it from source code with cargo install --path . or from crates.io with cargo install line2httppost.

Example
