Hey @igoracmelo! The HTTPie command accepts our request data syntax after the URL. That is the reason you can't pass it. The correct way should be:

$ http --offline google.com

[ko2in]

As the error in the console clearly says the --offline argument is no longer recognized. I'm not sure why this issue was closed.

@ko2in this looks like an ancient version of HTTPie. I recommend upgrading to the latest version (https://httpie.io/docs/cli/installation).

[ko2in]

@jakubroztocil Thanks. I installed via snap. I've tried snap refresh httpie but it says no updates available.

[jkbrzt]

@ko2in what does http --version say?

[ko2in]

The version is 1.0.3, and OS is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

[ko2in]

@jakubroztocil I've checked the snap and the httpie version is 3.2.1.

And https --version also returns the same version and the --offline argument works with https command.

[jkbrzt]

@ko2in you may have the 1.0.3 version installed using another method (e.g., pip or apt). So if you uninstall it (and reinstall the newer snap, if needed), you should be good.

[ko2in]

@jakubroztocil You're right. I've also httpie installed with apt. I uninstall from apt and now it works. Thanks.
