Quickie RESTful API tester for my sinatra app

docurl.sh

#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
  echo "USAGE: $0 [METHOD] [/path/to/endpoint] -d [key=value] "
  exit 1
fi

COOKIES=.cookies
# JSONLINTER='python -mjson.tool'
JSONLINTER=jsonpretty # gem install jsonpretty
SERVER=http://localhost:3000
METHOD=$1
ENDPOINT=$2
shift 2

# Verbose and raw
# env curl -v -b $COOKIES -c $COOKIES -X $METHOD $SERVER$ENDPOINT $@

# Assume RESTful JSON endpoint and prettify result
env curl -s -b $COOKIES -c $COOKIES -X $METHOD $SERVER$ENDPOINT $@ | $JSONLINTER

I just slapped this together, then even go one further and
alias GET='docurl.sh GET'
