** setup

To use =ob-http= in an =org-babel= source block, the http language must be enabled in the custom =org-babel-load-languages= alist. Alternatively, running the following snippet during initialization will enable the mode.

+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((emacs-lisp . t) (http . t)))

+END_SRC
