Brew installed version doesn't work with plugins
See original GitHub issueBrew is listed as the recommended way of installing httpie on macOS. However, it doesn’t work with auth plugins.
For example, if you pip3 install requests-hawk and then run http --help hawk will not show as an auth type. If you pip3 install httpie-oauth it will install httpie via pip as a dependency and overwrite the brew installed link in /usr/local/bin/http and now all the plugins will show because it isn’t using the brew installed version.
I suggest changing the documentation to read pip3 install httpie as the recommended method of installing on macOS.
