Features

• Fast
• No dependencies, easy to install

• Basic authentication
• Cookie store*

*new in this release

Installation

Download the specific file for your OS (darwin = mac), unzip and run. Linux version is reported to work in Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04, and Debian testing. Mac version is also available via Homebrew.

Of course you can also download the source code and compile it yourself, but you'll need the crystal compiler for that.

Please report any issue you find.
