## Description
### Cookie storage
Requests in the same Hurl file share the cookie storage, enabling, for example, session based scenario.
### Redirects
By default, Hurl doesn't follow redirection. To effectively run a redirection, entries should describe each step
of the redirection, allowing insertion of asserts in each response.
```hurl
# First entry, test the redirection (status code and
# Location header)
GET http://google.fr
HTTP/1.1 301
Location: http://www.google.fr/
# Second entry, the 200 OK response
GET http://www.google.fr
HTTP/1.1 200
```
Alternatively, one can use [`--location`] option to force redirection
to be followed. In this case, asserts are executed on the last received response. Optionally, the number of
redirections can be limited with [`--max-redirs`].
```hurl
# Running hurl --location google.hurl

### Options

### Retry
Every entry can be retried upon asserts, captures or runtime errors. Retries allow polling scenarios and effective runs
under flaky conditions. Asserts can be explicit (with an [`[Asserts]` section][asserts]), or implicit (like [headers] or [status code]).
Retries can be set globally for every request (see [`--retry`], [`--retry-interval`] and [`--retry-max-count`] options),
or activated on a particular request with an [`[Options]` section][options].

Option | Description
--- | ---
<a href="#cacert" id="cacert"><code>--cacert</code></a> | Specifies the certificate file for peer verification. The file may contain multiple CA certificates and must be in PEM format.<br/>Normally curl is built to use a default file for this, so this option is typically used to alter that default file.<br/>
<a href="#color" id="color"><code>--color</code></a> | Colorize Output<br/>

<a href="#fail-at-end" id="fail-at-end"><code>--fail-at-end</code></a> | Continue executing requests to the end of the Hurl file even when an assert error occurs.<br/>By default, Hurl exits after an assert error in the HTTP response.<br/><br/>Note that this option does not affect the behavior with multiple input Hurl files.<br/><br/>All the input files are executed independently. The result of one file does not affect the execution of the other Hurl files.<br/>
<a href="#file-root" id="file-root"><code>--file-root &lt;dir&gt;</code></a> | Set root file system to import files in Hurl. This is used for both files in multipart form data and request body.<br/>When this is not explicitly defined, the files are relative to the current directory in which Hurl is running.<br/>
