This is a simple command line utility that let you get the meaning of http status codes right in your terminal.

NB: If you don't want to build it yourself you can download prebuild binaries following this link https://github.com/sdmg15/httpstatucpp/releases

• CMake (min 3.13)
• Clang or g++ 7.3.0
• Conan - C++ package manager

NB : This was tested only on Ubuntu 18.08 (Bionic)

• Create the build directory and change to it :

mkdir build && cd $_

• Install the dependencies using conan :

conan install ..

• Build finaly :

cmake --build ..

The resulting binary could be found in the bin folder.

You can alias the command and/or symlink it to be able to run it globally.

Here is an example on how to run the command :

~$ httpstatucpp code 100

Sample result :

• code success -- display all success status codes

• code errors -- display all errors status codes

• code informational -- display all informational status codes
