HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete and syntax highlighting. Download url -> https://github.com/eliangcs/http-prompt – Joe C. Hecht – Google+
Source: HTTP Prompt is an interactive command-line HTTP client featuring autocomplete… [WayBack]
To me it looks remarkably similar to https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie [WayBack] which too is a visual cURL replacement.

Seems I need to say good bye to Bitbucket: while creating a new repository without changing any user aspects, I got this nice message at https://bitbucket.org/repo/create which does not explain which limit I reached:
You’ve exceeded your user limit, restricting all your repositories to read-only access. Change your plan to restore write access. Learn more
Later I found that https://bitbucket.org/account/user/jeroenp/plans-and-billing/ lists I’m within the free plan:

Though the Mikrotik people seem reluctant to make the font size in Winbox configurable, if you run it through WineBottler on OS X, you can scale the individual app. It’s not very pretty but makes it easier to use.
The trick is based on the Windows DPI font settings explained for instance at DPI Display Size Settings – Change – Windows 7 Help Forums and Large Fonts in Registry: Where Exactly? | PC Review but then in Wine.
For Windows, this is a system wide setting, but on a WineBottler application there is one “Windows environment” per application, so it’s application specific and should work for other applications than WinBox as well.
It makes it much easier to do script editing now.
Steps I performed:
/Applications/Winbox4Mac.app/Contents/Resources/system.reg[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts] 1460991918"LogPixels"=dword:00000060"LogPixels"=dword:00000080The value increases the DPI from 0x60 (96 DPI) to 0x80 (128 DPI) , but the WinBox software isn’t smart enough to scale a lot of other UI properties based on it (like controls dialogs, grid cell sizes and script editors).
So it takes a bit of experimenting what works well (on my system, dword:00000090 – or 144 DPI) which scales to 150% cuts off too much of the descenders).
Values I tried:
I got at this trick through [Wine] Screen font size then wading my way to find where system.reg was stored on my system.
TODO: dive into Fixing Windows font scaling without restarting | Marc Durdin’s Blog and see if other registry settings need to be applied as well.
