Thoughts on having this so that any argument not strictly defined on the CLI would be interpreted as an option for the targets and be automatically bundled up into extraOptions? Like:
httpsnippet example.json --target http --output ./snippets --autoHost false --autoContentLength false

Yeah, I had a thought about it too. But it'll take a lot more effort to handle it and parse correctly. Is there only true/false, or other options are available like strings or maybe even arrays? We'll need to parse each option and convert to to the correct type. Is it worth it?

@erunion what does your '+1' mean? is it "ok, really no need to spend time on parsing, passing JSON config is ok", or "yeah you better work on passing options in --autoHost false --autoContentLength false format"?

It's "that makes sense, leaving it as it is and passing JSON is sounds good to me!"

Hi! I could not find an option to provide extra options to the target. For example if I don't need Host or ContentLength at the http target. Added an option to provide extra options to the target, updated readme
Example:
httpsnippet example.json --target http --output ./snippets -x '{"autoHost": false, "autoContentLength": false}'
