Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with https voidlinux.org after installing the httpie package, then inspect the package's entry-point setup and the traceback locations in /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/httpie/cli/definition.py and httpie/core.py. Done means http, https, and httpie return an actual response instead of raising the shown AttributeError.
