It should work like the following example, making this tool a barebones https://github.com/jakubroztocil/httpie :smile:
$ curl https://api.github.com/repos/CocoaPods/CocoaPods 2>/dev/null | act --lexer=json --prettify
{

This would be awesome for piping from other tools (the unix philosophy). If the content-type is missing, it could use the pygments "guess" API which uses some rules to guess content, like shebang lines, imports,
<html>
etc.Example usage:
curl
Useful if you need to run curl to add a bunch of headers
less
jinja2
xcpretty
No idea why you'd do this, maybe for debugging
