Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format. It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions. Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs. ```hurl # Get home: GET https://example.org HTTP 200 [Captures] csrf_token: xpath "string(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)" # Do login! POST https://example.org/login?user=toto&password=1234 X-CSRF-TOKEN: {{csrf_token}} HTTP 302 ``` Chaining multiple requests is easy: ```hurl GET https://example.org/api/health GET https://example.org/api/step1 GET https://example.org/api/step2 GET https://example.org/api/step3 ``` # Also an HTTP Test Tool Hurl can run HTTP requests but can also be used to test HTTP responses. Different types of queries and predicates are supported, from [XPath] and [JSONPath] on body response, to assert on status code and response headers. Hurl Demo It is well adapted for REST / JSON APIs ```hurl POST https://example.org/api/tests { "id": "4568", "evaluate": true } HTTP 200 [Asserts] header "X-Frame-Options" == "SAMEORIGIN" jsonpath "$.status" == "RUNNING" # Check the status code jsonpath "$.tests" count == 25 # Check the number of items jsonpath "$.id" matches /\d{4}/ # Check the format of the id ``` HTML content ```hurl GET https://example.org HTTP 200 [Asserts] xpath "normalize-space(//head/title)" == "Hello world!" ``` GraphQL ~~~hurl POST https://example.org/graphql ```graphql { human(id: "1000") { name height(unit: FOOT) } } ``` HTTP 200 ~~~ and even SOAP APIs ```hurl POST https://example.org/InStock Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 SOAPAction: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" GOOG HTTP 200 ``` Hurl can also be used to test the performance of HTTP endpoints ```hurl GET https://example.org/api/v1/pets HTTP 200 [Asserts] duration < 1000 # Duration in ms ``` And check response bytes ```hurl GET https://example.org/data.tar.gz HTTP 200 [Asserts] sha256 == hex,039058c6f2c0cb492c533b0a4d14ef77cc0f78abccced5287d84a1a2011cfb81; ``` Finally, Hurl is easy to integrate in CI/CD, with text, JUnit and HTML reports

# Why Hurl? # Powered by curl Hurl is a lightweight binary written in [Rust]. Under the hood, Hurl HTTP engine is powered by [libcurl], one of the most powerful and reliable file transfer libraries. With its text file format, Hurl adds syntactic sugar to run and test HTTP requests, but it's still the [curl] that we love. # Feedbacks To support its development, [star Hurl on GitHub]! [Feedback, suggestion, bugs or improvements] are welcome. ```hurl POST https://hurl.dev/api/feedback { "name": "John Doe", "feedback": "Hurl is awesome!" } HTTP 200 ``` # Resources [License] [Blog] [Tutorial] [Documentation] [GitHub] Table of Contents ================= * [Samples](#samples) * [Getting Data](#getting-data) * [HTTP Headers](#http-headers) * [Query Params](#query-params) * [Basic Authentication](#basic-authentication) * [Sending Data](#sending-data) * [Sending HTML Form Data](#sending-html-form-data) * [Sending Multipart Form Data](#sending-multipart-form-data) * [Posting a JSON Body](#posting-a-json-body) * [Templating a JSON Body](#templating-a-json-body) * [Templating a XML Body](#templating-a-xml-body) * [Using GraphQL Query](#using-graphql-query) * [Testing Response](#testing-response) * [Testing Response Headers](#testing-response-headers) * [Testing REST APIs](#testing-rest-apis) * [Testing HTML Response](#testing-html-response) * [Testing Set-Cookie Attributes](#testing-set-cookie-attributes) * [Testing Bytes Content](#testing-bytes-content) * [SSL Certificate](#ssl-certificate) * [Others](#others) * [HTTP Version](#http-version) * [Polling and Retry](#polling-and-retry) * [Testing Endpoint Performance](#testing-endpoint-performance) * [Using SOAP APIs](#using-soap-apis) * [Capturing and Using a CSRF Token](#capturing-and-using-a-csrf-token) * [Checking Byte Order Mark (BOM) in Response Body](#checking-byte-order-mark-bom-in-response-body) * [Manual](#manual) * [Name](#name) * [Synopsis](#synopsis) * [Description](#description) * [Hurl File Format](#hurl-file-format) * [Capturing values](#capturing-values) * [Asserts](#asserts) * [Options](#options) * [Environment](#environment) * [Exit Codes](#exit-codes) * [WWW](#www) * [See Also](#see-also) * [Installation](#installation) * [Binaries Installation](#binaries-installation) * [Linux](#linux) * [Debian / Ubuntu](#debian--ubuntu) * [Arch Linux / Manjaro](#arch-linux--manjaro) * [NixOS / Nix](#nixos--nix) * [macOS](#macos) * [Homebrew](#homebrew) * [MacPorts](#macports) * [FreeBSD](#freebsd) * [Windows](#windows) * [Zip File](#zip-file) * [Installer](#installer) * [Chocolatey](#chocolatey) * [Scoop](#scoop) * [Windows Package Manager](#windows-package-manager) * [Cargo](#cargo) * [Docker](#docker) * [npm](#npm) * [Building From Sources](#building-from-sources) * [Build on Linux](#build-on-linux) * [Debian based distributions](#debian-based-distributions) * [Red Hat based distributions](#red-hat-based-distributions) * [Arch based distributions](#arch-based-distributions) * [Build on macOS](#build-on-macos) * [Build on Windows](#build-on-windows) # Samples To run a sample, edit a file with the sample content, and run Hurl: ```shell $ vi sample.hurl GET https://example.org $ hurl sample.hurl ``` By default, Hurl behaves like [curl] and outputs the last HTTP response's [entry]. To have a test oriented output, you can use [`--test` option]: ```shell $ hurl --test sample.hurl ``` You can check [Hurl tests suite] for more samples. ## Getting Data A simple GET: ```hurl GET https://example.org ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#method) ### HTTP Headers A simple GET with headers: ```hurl GET https://example.org/news User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br Connection: keep-alive ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#headers) ### Query Params ```hurl GET https://example.org/news [QueryStringParams] order: newest search: something to search count: 100 ``` Or: ```hurl GET https://example.org/news?order=newest&search=something%20to%20search&count=100 ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#query-parameters) ### Basic Authentication ```hurl GET https://example.org/protected [BasicAuth] bob: secret ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#basic-authentication) This is equivalent to construct the request with a [Authorization] header: ```hurl # Authorization header value can be computed with `echo -n 'bob:secret' | base64` GET https://example.org/protected Authorization: Basic Ym9iOnNlY3JldA== ``` Basic authentication allows per request authentication. If you want to add basic authentication to all the requests of a Hurl file you could use [`-u/--user` option]. ## Sending Data ### Sending HTML Form Data ```hurl POST https://example.org/contact [FormParams] default: false token: {{token}} email: john.doe@rookie.org number: 33611223344 ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#form-parameters) ### Sending Multipart Form Data ```hurl POST https://example.org/upload [MultipartFormData] field1: value1 field2: file,example.txt; # One can specify the file content type: field3: file,example.zip; application/zip ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#multipart-form-data) Multipart forms can also be sent with a [multiline string body]: ~~~hurl POST https://example.org/upload Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="boundary" ``` --boundary Content-Disposition: form-data; name="key1" value1 --boundary Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload1"; filename="data.txt" Content-Type: text/plain Hello World! --boundary Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload2"; filename="data.html" Content-Type: text/html
Hello World!
--boundary-- ``` ~~~ In that case, files have to be inlined in the Hurl file. [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#multiline-string-body) ### Posting a JSON Body With an inline JSON: ```hurl POST https://example.org/api/tests { "id": "456", "evaluate": true } ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#json-body) With a local file: ```hurl POST https://example.org/api/tests Content-Type: application/json file,data.json; ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#file-body) ### Templating a JSON Body ```hurl PUT https://example.org/api/hits Content-Type: application/json { "key0": "{{a_string}}", "key1": {{a_bool}}, "key2": {{a_null}}, "key3": {{a_number}} } ``` Variables can be initialized via command line: ```shell $ hurl --variable a_string=apple \ --variable a_bool=true \ --variable a_null=null \ --variable a_number=42 \ test.hurl ``` Resulting in a PUT request with the following JSON body: ``` { "key0": "apple", "key1": true, "key2": null, "key3": 42 } ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/templates.html) ### Templating a XML Body Using templates with [XML body] is not currently supported in Hurl. You can use templates in [XML multiline string body] with variables to send a variable XML body: ~~~hurl POST https://example.org/echo/post/xml ```xml {{login}} {{password}} ``` ~~~ [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#multiline-string-body) ### Using GraphQL Query A simple GraphQL query: ~~~hurl POST https://example.org/starwars/graphql ```graphql { human(id: "1000") { name height(unit: FOOT) } } ``` ~~~ A GraphQL query with variables: ~~~hurl POST https://example.org/starwars/graphql ```graphql query Hero($episode: Episode, $withFriends: Boolean!) { hero(episode: $episode) { name friends @include(if: $withFriends) { name } } } variables { "episode": "JEDI", "withFriends": false } ``` ~~~ GraphQL queries can also use [Hurl templates]. [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#graphql-body) ## Testing Response ### Testing Response Headers Use implicit response asserts to test header values: ```hurl GET https://example.org/index.html HTTP 200 Set-Cookie: theme=light Set-Cookie: sessionToken=abc123; Expires=Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#headers) Or use explicit response asserts with [predicates]: ```hurl GET https://example.org HTTP 302 [Asserts] header "Location" contains "www.example.net" ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#header-assert) ### Testing REST APIs Asserting JSON body response (node values, collection count etc...) with [JSONPath]: ```hurl GET https://example.org/order screencapability: low HTTP 200 [Asserts] jsonpath "$.validated" == true jsonpath "$.userInfo.firstName" == "Franck" jsonpath "$.userInfo.lastName" == "Herbert" jsonpath "$.hasDevice" == false jsonpath "$.links" count == 12 jsonpath "$.state" != null jsonpath "$.order" matches "^order-\\d{8}$" jsonpath "$.order" matches /^order-\d{8}$/ # Alternative syntax with regex literal ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#jsonpath-assert) Testing status code: ```hurl GET https://example.org/order/435 HTTP 200 ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#version-status) ```hurl GET https://example.org/order/435 # Testing status code is in a 200-300 range HTTP * [Asserts] status >= 200 status < 300 ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#status-assert) ### Testing HTML Response ```hurl GET https://example.org HTTP 200 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 [Asserts] xpath "string(/html/head/title)" contains "Example" # Check title xpath "count(//p)" == 2 # Check the number of p xpath "//p" count == 2 # Similar assert for p xpath "boolean(count(//h2))" == false # Check there is no h2 xpath "//h2" not exists # Similar assert for h2 xpath "string(//div[1])" matches /Hello.*/ ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#xpath-assert) ### Testing Set-Cookie Attributes ```hurl GET https://example.org/home HTTP 200 [Asserts] cookie "JSESSIONID" == "8400BAFE2F66443613DC38AE3D9D6239" cookie "JSESSIONID[Value]" == "8400BAFE2F66443613DC38AE3D9D6239" cookie "JSESSIONID[Expires]" contains "Wed, 13 Jan 2021" cookie "JSESSIONID[Secure]" exists cookie "JSESSIONID[HttpOnly]" exists cookie "JSESSIONID[SameSite]" == "Lax" ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#cookie-assert) ### Testing Bytes Content Check the SHA-256 response body hash: ```hurl GET https://example.org/data.tar.gz HTTP 200 [Asserts] sha256 == hex,039058c6f2c0cb492c533b0a4d14ef77cc0f78abccced5287d84a1a2011cfb81; ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#sha-256-assert) ### SSL Certificate Check the properties of a SSL certificate: ```hurl GET https://example.org HTTP 200 [Asserts] certificate "Subject" == "CN=example.org" certificate "Issuer" == "C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3" certificate "Expire-Date" daysAfterNow > 15 certificate "Serial-Number" matches /[\da-f]+/ ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#ssl-certificate-assert) ## Others ### HTTP Version Testing HTTP version (1.0, 1.1 or 2): ```hurl GET https://example.org/order/435 HTTP/2 200 ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#version-status) ### Polling and Retry Retry request on any errors (asserts, captures, status code, runtime etc...): ```hurl # Create a new job POST https://api.example.org/jobs HTTP 201 [Captures] job_id: jsonpath "$.id" [Asserts] jsonpath "$.state" == "RUNNING" # Pull job status until it is completed GET https://api.example.org/jobs/{{job_id}} [Options] retry: 10 # maximum number of retry, -1 for unlimited HTTP 200 [Asserts] jsonpath "$.state" == "COMPLETED" ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/entry.html#retry) ### Testing Endpoint Performance ```hurl GET https://sample.org/helloworld HTTP * [Asserts] duration < 1000 # Check that response time is less than one second ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#duration-assert) ### Using SOAP APIs ```hurl POST https://example.org/InStock Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 SOAPAction: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" GOOG HTTP 200 ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#xml-body) ### Capturing and Using a CSRF Token ```hurl GET https://example.org HTTP 200 [Captures] csrf_token: xpath "string(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)" POST https://example.org/login?user=toto&password=1234 X-CSRF-TOKEN: {{csrf_token}} HTTP 302 ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/capturing-response.html#xpath-capture) ### Checking Byte Order Mark (BOM) in Response Body ```hurl GET https://example.org/data.bin HTTP 200 [Asserts] bytes startsWith hex,efbbbf; ``` [Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#bytes-assert) # Manual ## Name hurl - run and test HTTP requests. ## Synopsis **hurl** [options] [FILE...] ## Description **Hurl** is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format. It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile, it can be used for fetching data and testing HTTP sessions: HTML content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs. ```shell $ hurl session.hurl ``` If no input files are specified, input is read from stdin. ```shell $ echo GET http://httpbin.org/get | hurl { "args": {}, "headers": { "Accept": "*/*", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip", "Content-Length": "0", "Host": "httpbin.org", "User-Agent": "hurl/0.99.10", "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-5eedf4c7-520814d64e2f9249ea44e0" }, "origin": "1.2.3.4", "url": "http://httpbin.org/get" } ``` Output goes to stdout by default. To have output go to a file, use the [`-o, --output`](#output) option: ```shell $ hurl -o output input.hurl ``` By default, Hurl executes all HTTP requests and outputs the response body of the last HTTP call. To have a test oriented output, you can use [`--test`](#test) option: ```shell $ hurl --test *.hurl ``` ## Hurl File Format The Hurl file format is fully documented in [https://hurl.dev/docs/hurl-file.html](https://hurl.dev/docs/hurl-file.html) It consists of one or several HTTP requests ```hurl GET http:/example.org/endpoint1 GET http:/example.org/endpoint2 ``` ### Capturing values A value from an HTTP response can be-reused for successive HTTP requests. A typical example occurs with CSRF tokens. ```hurl GET https://example.org HTTP 200 # Capture the CSRF token value from html body. [Captures] csrf_token: xpath "normalize-space(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)" # Do the login ! POST https://example.org/login?user=toto&password=1234 X-CSRF-TOKEN: {{csrf_token}} ``` More information on captures can be found here [https://hurl.dev/docs/capturing-response.html](https://hurl.dev/docs/capturing-response.html) ### Asserts The HTTP response defined in the Hurl file are used to make asserts. Responses are optional. At the minimum, response includes assert on the HTTP status code. ```hurl GET http:/example.org HTTP 301 ``` It can also include asserts on the response headers ```hurl GET http:/example.org HTTP 301 Location: http://www.example.org ``` Explicit asserts can be included by combining a query and a predicate ```hurl GET http:/example.org HTTP 301 [Asserts] xpath "string(//title)" == "301 Moved" ``` With the addition of asserts, Hurl can be used as a testing tool to run scenarios. More information on asserts can be found here [https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html) ## Options Options that exist in curl have exactly the same semantics. Options specified on the command line are defined for every Hurl file's entry. For instance: ```shell $ hurl --location foo.hurl ``` will follow redirection for each entry in `foo.hurl`. You can also define an option only for a particular entry with an `[Options]` section. For instance, this Hurl file: ```hurl GET https://example.org HTTP 301 GET https://example.org [Options] location: true HTTP 200 ``` will follow a redirection only for the second entry. | Option | Description | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | --cacert <FILE> | Specifies the certificate file for peer verification. The file may contain multiple CA certificates and must be in PEM format.
Normally Hurl is built to use a default file for this, so this option is typically used to alter that default file.
| | -E, --cert <CERTIFICATE[:PASSWORD]> | Client certificate file and password.

See also [`--key`](#key).
| | --color | Colorize debug output (the HTTP response output is not colorized).
| | --compressed | Request a compressed response using one of the algorithms br, gzip, deflate and automatically decompress the content.
| | --connect-timeout <SECONDS> | Maximum time in seconds that you allow Hurl's connection to take.

See also [`-m, --max-time`](#max-time).
| | --connect-to <HOST1:PORT1:HOST2:PORT2> | For a request to the given HOST1:PORT1 pair, connect to HOST2:PORT2 instead. This option can be used several times in a command line.

See also [`--resolve`](#resolve).
| | -b, --cookie <FILE> | Read cookies from FILE (using the Netscape cookie file format).

Combined with [`-c, --cookie-jar`](#cookie-jar), you can simulate a cookie storage between successive Hurl runs.
| | -c, --cookie-jar <FILE> | Write cookies to FILE after running the session (only for one session).
The file will be written using the Netscape cookie file format.

Combined with [`-b, --cookie`](#cookie), you can simulate a cookie storage between successive Hurl runs.
| | --error-format <FORMAT> | Control the format of error message (short by default or long)
| | --fail-at-end | Continue executing requests to the end of the Hurl file even when an assert error occurs.
By default, Hurl exits after an assert error in the HTTP response.

Note that this option does not affect the behavior with multiple input Hurl files.

All the input files are executed independently. The result of one file does not affect the execution of the other Hurl files.
| | --file-root <DIR> | Set root file system to import files in Hurl. This is used for both files in multipart form data and request body.
When this is not explicitly defined, the files are relative to the current directory in which Hurl is running.
| | -L, --location | Follow redirect. To limit the amount of redirects to follow use the [`--max-redirs`](#max-redirs) option
| | --glob <GLOB> | Specify input files that match the given glob pattern.

Multiple glob flags may be used. This flag supports common Unix glob patterns like *, ? and [].
However, to avoid your shell accidentally expanding glob patterns before Hurl handles them, you must use single quotes or double quotes around each pattern.
| | -i, --include | Include the HTTP headers in the output (last entry).
| | --ignore-asserts | Ignore all asserts defined in the Hurl file.
| | -k, --insecure | This option explicitly allows Hurl to perform "insecure" SSL connections and transfers.
| | --interactive | Stop between requests.
This is similar to a break point, You can then continue (Press C) or quit (Press Q).
| | --json | Output each hurl file result to JSON. The format is very closed to HAR format.
| | --key <KEY> | Private key file name.
| | --max-redirs <NUM> | Set maximum number of redirection-followings allowed
By default, the limit is set to 50 redirections. Set this option to -1 to make it unlimited.
| | -m, --max-time <SECONDS> | Maximum time in seconds that you allow a request/response to take. This is the standard timeout.

See also [`--connect-timeout`](#connect-timeout).
| | --no-color | Do not colorize output.
| | --no-output | Suppress output. By default, Hurl outputs the body of the last response.
| | --noproxy <HOST(S)> | Comma-separated list of hosts which do not use a proxy.
Override value from Environment variable no_proxy.
| | -o, --output <FILE> | Write output to FILE instead of stdout.
| | --path-as-is | Tell Hurl to not handle sequences of /../ or /./ in the given URL path. Normally Hurl will squash or merge them according to standards but with this option set you tell it not to do that.
| | -x, --proxy <[PROTOCOL://]HOST[:PORT]> | Use the specified proxy.
| | --report-junit <FILE> | Generate JUnit File.

If the FILE report already exists, it will be updated with the new test results.
| | --report-html <DIR> | Generate HTML report in DIR.

If the HTML report already exists, it will be updated with the new test results.
| | --resolve <HOST:PORT:ADDR> | Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you can make the Hurl requests(s) use a specified address and prevent the otherwise normally resolved address to be used. Consider it a sort of /etc/hosts alternative provided on the command line.
| | --retry <NUM> | Maximum number of retries, 0 for no retries, -1 for unlimited retries. Retry happens if any error occurs (asserts, captures, runtimes etc...).
| | --retry-interval <MILLISECONDS> | Duration in milliseconds between each retry. Default is 1000 ms.
| | --ssl-no-revoke | (Windows) This option tells Hurl to disable certificate revocation checks. WARNING: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you ask for exactly that.
| | --test | Activate test mode: with this, the HTTP response is not outputted anymore, progress is reported for each Hurl file tested, and a text summary is displayed when all files have been run.
| | --to-entry <ENTRY_NUMBER> | Execute Hurl file to ENTRY_NUMBER (starting at 1).
Ignore the remaining of the file. It is useful for debugging a session.
| | -u, --user <USER:PASSWORD> | Add basic Authentication header to each request.
| | -A, --user-agent <NAME> | Specify the User-Agent string to send to the HTTP server.
| | --variable <NAME=VALUE> | Define variable (name/value) to be used in Hurl templates.
| | --variables-file <FILE> | Set properties file in which your define your variables.

Each variable is defined as name=value exactly as with [`--variable`](#variable) option.

Note that defining a variable twice produces an error.
| | -v, --verbose | Turn on verbose output on standard error stream.
Useful for debugging.

A line starting with '>' means data sent by Hurl.
A line staring with '<' means data received by Hurl.
A line starting with '*' means additional info provided by Hurl.

If you only want HTTP headers in the output, [`-i, --include`](#include) might be the option you're looking for.
| | --very-verbose | Turn on more verbose output on standard error stream.

In contrast to [`--verbose`](#verbose) option, this option outputs the full HTTP body request and response on standard error. In addition, lines starting with '**' are libcurl debug logs.
| | -h, --help | Usage help. This lists all current command line options with a short description.
| | -V, --version | Prints version information
| ## Environment Environment variables can only be specified in lowercase. Using an environment variable to set the proxy has the same effect as using the [`-x, --proxy`](#proxy) option. | Variable | Description | |--------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `http_proxy [PROTOCOL://][:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use for HTTP.
| | `https_proxy [PROTOCOL://][:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use for HTTPS.
| | `all_proxy [PROTOCOL://][:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use if no protocol-specific proxy is set.
| | `no_proxy ` | List of host names that shouldn't go through any proxy.
| | `HURL_name value` | Define variable (name/value) to be used in Hurl templates. This is similar than [`--variable`](#variable) and [`--variables-file`](#variables-file) options.
| | `NO_COLOR` | When set to a non-empty string, do not colorize output (see [`--no-color`](#no-color) option).
| ## Exit Codes | Value | Description | |-------|---------------------------------------------------------| | `0` | Success.
| | `1` | Failed to parse command-line options.
| | `2` | Input File Parsing Error.
| | `3` | Runtime error (such as failure to connect to host).
