Tags: shell, http, polyglot, devops, security

Score: 8.0/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

This project provides a set of HTTP client tools implemented as single-file shell scripts that require no external dependencies like curl or wget, and includes a file that is simultaneously valid bash and PowerShell. The clever polyglot technique and the focus on security (hash verification before execution) make it interesting.

Target audience: devops engineers, system administrators, backend developers
