Sman

A Python command-line tool for sending HTTP requests with different data types to a server.

Update

• --save-file argument: Allows the user to specify a file path to save the response.
• --show-response argument: When provided, displays the response content on the console.
• Saving the response to a file: If the --save-file argument is provided, the response content is saved to the specified file.
• Printing a message when the response is saved successfully.
• Additional module checking and installation logic: Checks if the required modules are installed and offers to install them if missing.
• Module installation using pip: Uses pip to install the missing modules automatically.

These additions enhance the functionality of the script by allowing the user to save the response to a file and control whether the response should be displayed or not.
