The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Curl and the Python Requests library basically do the same thing that
HTTPAPI does. So all of my points apply equally to those.
I just want to clarify something for those who are not too familiar
with Python and its ecosystem.
"Requests" is the name of a very popular and useful third-party
library for Python. As Scott says, it does more-or-less what HTTPAPI
does.
But there are other libraries for Python which work at different
levels of automation. For example, pywinauto and PyAutoGUI are more
like AutoHotkey.
And somewhere in between, there are Python libraries for interfacing
with Selenium and the like.
So there are options. When you see "Python blah-blah-library only does
this" please don't think "Python only does this". Python is just a
language. A very capable one, certainly, but a lot of functionality
comes from third-party packages. These packages are, for the most
part, nearly trivial to install.
