Basic Recipes

Add to the path of a URL:

$ urp -D bar http://domain.com/foo?baz=bux
http://domain.com/foo/bar?baz=bux

Extract a value from a query parameter:

$ urp -g q http://domain.com/search?q=urp%20is%20dope
urp is dope

Add authorization to a protected resource:

$ urp -U foo -W password http://protected.com
http://foo:password@protected.com

Sign a request with an MD5 hex digest:

$ url="http://api.com/resource?param=bux&app_id=foo"
$ urp $url -Q signature=$(urp $url --sort-query -q | md5)
http://api.com/resource?param=bux&app_id=foo&signature=f2d434f97779e6a31dbaf606b43064a5
