A friendly formatter for curl requests to help with debugging (with suggested mods)

README.md

1. Make a file named sniff.txt and paste the contents of this gist into it
2. Make an alias in your .bash_profile or .zshrc ( or whatever you use ) that looks like this ( make sure to source .bash_profile the file afterwards ):

alias sniff='curl -w "@/path/to/sniff.txt" -o /dev/null -O --remote-name --remote-header-name -s'
