NAME

fastly - a command line shell for interacting with the Fastly infrastructure

USAGE

fastly [option[s]] 

CONFIGURATION

You can either have a config file in either ~/.fastly or /etc/fastly with

user     = <login>
password = <password>

NOTE: For the time being you must use username and password, not API key. This may change in the future.

Alternatively you can pass in any of those options on the command line

fastly --user=<login> --password=<password>

PROXYING

There are three ways to proxy:

The first method is to put a proxy option in your .fastly file (or pass it in on)

proxy = http://localhost:8080

The second is to pass it in on the command line

fastly --user <login> --password <password> --proxy http://localhost:8080

Lastly, the third method is to set your https_proxy environment variable. So, in Bash

% export https_proxy=http://localhost:8080

or in CSH or TCSH

% setenv https_proxy=http://localhost:8080
