  You may be able to replace some of your curl+shell with Hurl — https://hurl.dev/#also-an-http-test-tool . - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

  I am currently looking for a solution to run automated tests on a sql website generator I am working on ( https://sql.ophir.dev ) I wanted to use hurl (https://hurl.dev/), but Bruno's UI seems to be useful while developing the tests... Has someone tried both ? Which is better for automated testing, including when the response type is html and not json? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Libcurl

  Shameless promotion: Hurl [1] is an Open Source cli using libcurl to run and tests HTTP requests with plain text! We use libcurl for the super reliability and top features (HTTP/3 for instance) and we've added little features like: - requests chaining, - capturing and passing data from a response to another request, - response tests (JSONPath, XPath, etc...) There is nice syntax sugar for resuesting... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Hoppscotch Desktop Application

  - This too will suffer the same fate as the previous two and will gradually also adopt a busy, unworkable, confusing UI This is why I’ve started using Hurl because that doesn’t even have a UI. Bonus: can be kept in source control and run as part of CI/CD. https://www.communication-generation.com/enshitification/ https://hurl.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Best practices for HarperDB projects using TypeScript

  Testing our application is a matter of running npm run start:dev and making requests to it. To test it better I'll leave a Hurl file in the repository that you can use to test the API. You can run it using hurl --test ./collection.hurl. This will run all the tests and make sure that everything is working as expected. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• HTTPie Desktop: cross-platform API testing client for humans

  I use hurl [1], a text-based HTTP testing tool. It's like the proprietary one that jetbrains ships, but as a CLI tool and can be perfectly integrated into CI. It is based on curl, as the name suggests. [1]: https://hurl.dev. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff

  You can give a try to Hurl [1], a CLI open source tool, based on plain text and curl. It allows you to run and test Rest/SOAP/GraphQL APIs (I'm one of the maintainer). There is no GUI, so Hurl is not a drop-in Postman replacement, but it has nice features: it can be easily integrated in CI/CD, it's fast and it's powered by curl! A detail: Hurl is given to the community by Orange, a French telco. Orange is not in... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Insomnia?

  Given the recent update[0] pushed by the Insomnia team I am now looking for alternatives. For now the best alternative I've found is Bruno[1]. But sadly it does not support gRPC. Does anyone have a better solution? These are some options I've looked into: - https://hoppscotch.io/ - https://hurl.dev/ - https://recipeui.com/ - https://kreya.app/ - https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox [0] -... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Nap, a fast, file-based HTTP test framework

  Dave here! I've been working on this project (very) off and (sometimes) on for a couple of years. It is somewhat similar to Hurl[0] (I especially was inspired by their captures and asserts), but with different syntax and with parallelization support via "routines". Have a look and let me know what you think. I'd really appreciate the feedback. Thanks! [0]: https://hurl.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Open-source Postman alternative with type safety

  Hopscotch is not a Postman fork as far as I know. You can also do request chaining with Step CI (https://stepci.com) and Hurl (https://hurl.dev). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Curl Command Line Variables

  I maintain an Open Source HTTP client based on libcurl [1]. We have support for variables like {{foo}} and also add kind of filters (like these new curl functions that you can chain to refine values). It seems natural to have this kind of templating for an HTTP client now (for instance, when you want to make "templatized" script). Really a nice addition to curl.

• Twenty-Five Years of Curl

  You could also try Hurl [1] which is a cli tool using plain text and libcurl for run and test HTTP requests. I'm one of the maintainer and very grateful to curl/libcurl! My project couldn't exist without it. [1] https://hurl.dev. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Postman is limiting local collection runner to 25 runs for basic plans

  Shameless plug: why not switch to Hurl [1], an open source cli tool to run and test HTTP requests in plain text, with libcurl under the hood? (I'm one of the maintainer) [1]: https://hurl.dev. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• The building blocks of great docs

  On my iPhone, when I click on home links (let's say Webhooks & notifications), I'm redirected to the middle of the target page. I'm sure it's a small bug, but it's kind of sad that basic navigation is half broken. On my pet documentation site [1], I've chosen the boring way: - fully static HTML (Jekyll) - minimal JavaScript (especially no tracking) - search is local I find mysite quite reactive without complicated... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text

  A better url might be https://hurl.dev/ Hurl runs super fast without startup latency unlike a lot of tools in this category written in node. The plain text format can be checked in and this can be part of your CI process. Hurl can capture data from previous requests to run workflows and serve as a testing tool. The main downside is the lack of a GUI, although I imagine it being not that hard to do something like... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
