I've tried using HTTPie and Curl, but neither appear to support the following scenario.
curl somesite.com/somefile.html
<span style="color: blue;">I am blue!</span>
I'm in control of the site, so I can use any markup I'd like, but I was hoping there was something that did something like the above, which is to say take downloaded HTML output, and render it in ANSI colors.
UPDATE:
This is a demo, I'll be running from a Mac, against a node.js end point.
In the demo, I'd like to execute a loop:
while true; do curl http://somesite.com; sleep 1; done
After running this for ~5 seconds, I'll change a setting on the server, that will change this output. So, something like this:
I am blue!
I am blue!
I am blue! (Change occurs)
I am green!
I am green!
I am green!
And so on. I'd like to make that output (inside a Mac console) to change to the color that it says here. I've tried passing through the ANSI color codes, but it doesn't render.
Looks like the answer was (thanks to Dekel) that you basically have to hand it to xargs - curl doesn't do it itself.
Worse, Mac xargs is different than Linux.
Here's how I did it:
curl localhost | xargs -0 -I {} printf "{}";
