for HTTP calls from the console, you might appreciate the relatively new fetch api:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API

if you ask me, it's impressively well designed. it looks so boring and straight forward yet somehow nearly all "simple" http libraries (not to mention builtins) in nearly all popular languages are more convoluted.

I'm really greatfull for the new Fetch API. For now we need to use a pollyfill for it which just uses XHR underneath. Safari and modern versions of IE/Edge are lacking support.

Thanks! I didn't know this was actually out there yet, awesome.
