httpie: Send a GET request (default method with no request data).
$ http ${https:--example-com}
try on your machine

The command "http ${https:--example-com}" appears to be executed in a command-line interface or terminal.

In this command, "http" is likely a command-line tool or a programming language library used to make HTTP requests. The "${https:--example-com}" part is a command-line argument or parameter passed to the "http" command.

This argument "${https:--example-com}" seems to be defining the target URL for an HTTP request. It may use a syntax similar to templating or variable substitution commonly seen in command-line interfaces or scripting languages.

Based on the structure of this argument, it appears to be using a placeholder "$" followed by braces "{}" to substitute a value. In this case, it seems to be the value "https:--example-com". However, please note that the use of "--example-com" instead of a valid domain name may be just for example purposes. A valid URL would contain a specific domain name, such as "https://www.example.com".

To fully understand the functionality and purpose of this command, it would be necessary to know the context, language, or tool being used. The "http" command could refer to a specific command-line HTTP client library or utility, and its behavior would depend on its specific implementation or usage.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
