hssp

hssp for Http StatuS where the two capitals S replace the two ts of http.

Why?

This CLI is here to help you find/remember the meaning of an http status code.

Historically speaking, this tool was written after struggling with my memory to find the meaning of a code. Some tools already exist but installing Node.js is too much for me...
