* Description
This is a package that lets you have a REPL-like interface for http requests
using a [[http://pashky/restclient.el][restclient]] buffer or an =org= buffer.

* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =restclient= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

* Configuration
By default the layer enables [[http://pashky/restclient.el][restclient]]. It is possible to use =org= via [[http://github.com/zweifisch/ob-http][ob-http]]
by setting the layer variable =restclient-use-org= to =t=.

* Restclient
Any file with an =.http= extension is opened in a =restclient= buffer.
Full documentation and examples can be found in the package's [[https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el][GitHub Page]].
Also there is an [[http://emacsrocks.com/e15.html][Emacs Rocks!]] episode of it.
