A REST client for vim

Overview

Work in progress. This is completely unstable . . . like alpha alpha. Install at your own peril. It does actually do a few things now though. You can make GET, POST, PUT, etc. requests in the current window (e.g. EGet), a new split (e.g. SPost), a new vertical split (e.g. VPut), or a new tab (e.g. TPatch). The response text will be populated in that buffer (and syntax highlighted/formatted if it's html or json), and the headers will be opened above it. The Get family is the only really useful thing right, as I haven't added support for a post body in POST/PUT, so you can't actually send data at the moment. You may want to use :bw or :bd instead of :q when closing out these buffers, otherwise you get errors the next time your run a command.

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I really like vim-plug and recommend it.

Contributing

I always try to be open to suggestions, but I do still have opinions about what this should and should not be so . . . it never hurts to ask before investing a lot of time on a patch.
