Convert Curl Commands to Code

  To threadjack a bit - is there a good tool to /minimize/ a curl command? E.g. when you copy a request from your browser's developer mode, it's a giant command line with every single header and option. But most of them aren't strictly necessary.

  Rather than stripping them out by hand and manually checking to see if the request still works, it would be nice to have a tool that helped automate this. Obviously it wouldn't work for every site but it would be very helpful.
