# What's Hurl?
|
|
|
|
Hurl is a command line tool that runs <b>HTTP requests</b> defined in a simple <b>plain text format</b>.
|
|
|
|
It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very
|
|
versatile: it can be used for both <b>fetching data</b> and <b>testing HTTP</b> sessions.
|
|
|
|
Hurl makes it easy to work with <b>HTML</b> content, <b>REST / SOAP / GraphQL</b> APIs, or any other <b>XML / JSON</b> 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 <b>test HTTP responses</b>.
|
|
Different types of queries and predicates are supported, from [XPath] and [JSONPath] on body response,
|
|
to assert on status code and response headers.
|
|
|
|
<a href="https://hurl.dev/player.html?id=hurl&speed=3"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl/master/docs/assets/img/poster-hurl.png" width="100%" alt="Hurl Demo"/></a>
|
|
|
|
It is well adapted for <b>REST / JSON APIs</b>
|
|
|
|
```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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<b>HTML content</b>
|
|
|
|
```hurl
|
|
GET https://example.org
|
|
|
|
HTTP 200
|
|
[Asserts]
|
|
xpath "normalize-space(//head/title)" == "Hello world!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<b>GraphQL</b>
|
|
|
|
~~~hurl
|
|
POST https://example.org/graphql
|
|
```graphql
|
|
{
|
|
human(id: "1000") {
|
|
name
|
|
height(unit: FOOT)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
HTTP 200
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
and even <b>SOAP APIs</b>
|
|
|
|
```hurl
|
|
POST https://example.org/InStock
|
|
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
|
|
SOAPAction: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
|
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
|
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:m="https://example.org">
|
|
<soap:Header></soap:Header>
|
|
<soap:Body>
|
|
<m:GetStockPrice>
|
|
<m:StockName>GOOG</m:StockName>
|
|
</m:GetStockPrice>
|
|
</soap:Body>
|
|
</soap:Envelope>
|
|
HTTP 200
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Hurl can also be used to performance test HTTP endpoints:
|
|
|
|
```hurl
|
|
GET https://example.org/api/v1/pets
|
|
|
|
HTTP 200
|
|
[Asserts]
|
|
duration < 1000 # Duration in ms
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And response bytes
|
|
|
|
```hurl
|
|
GET https://example.org/data.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
HTTP 200
|
|
[Asserts]
|
|
sha256 == hex,039058c6f2c0cb492c533b0a4d14ef77cc0f78abccced5287d84a1a2011cfb81;
|
|
```
|
|
|

# Why Hurl?
|
|
|
|
<ul class="showcase-container">
|
|
<li><b>Text Format:</b> for both devops and developers</li>
|
|
<li><b>Fast CLI:</b> a command line for local dev and continuous integration</li>
|
|
<li><b>Single Binary:</b> easy to install, with no runtime required</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
[Feedback, suggestion, bugs or improvements] are welcome!
|
|
|
|
```hurl
|
|
POST https://hurl.dev/api/feedback
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "John Doe",
|
|
"feedback": "Hurl is awesome !"
|
|
}
|
|
HTTP 200
|
|
```

# 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)
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
|
|
<Request>
|
|
<Login>{{login}}</Login>
|
|
<Password>{{password}}</Password>
|
|
</Request>
|
|
```
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
[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 http://myserver.com/home
|
|
|
|
HTTP 200
|
|
[Asserts]

# 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 |
|
|
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| <a href="#cacert" id="cacert"><code>--cacert <FILE></code></a> | Specifies the certificate file for peer verification. The file may contain multiple CA certificates and must be in PEM format.<br>Normally Hurl is built to use a default file for this, so this option is typically used to alter that default file.<br> |
|
|
| <a href="#cert" id="cert"><code>-E, --cert <CERTIFICATE[:PASSWORD]></code></a> | Client certificate file and password.<br><br>See also [`--key`](#key).<br> |
|
|

|
|
| <a href="#compressed" id="compressed"><code>--compressed</code></a> | Request a compressed response using one of the algorithms br, gzip, deflate and automatically decompress the content.<br> |

|
|
| <a href="#cookie" id="cookie"><code>-b, --cookie <FILE></code></a> | Read cookies from FILE (using the Netscape cookie file format).<br><br>Combined with [`-c, --cookie-jar`](#cookie-jar), you can simulate a cookie storage between successive Hurl runs.<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 <DIR></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> |

|
|
| <a href="#glob" id="glob"><code>--glob <GLOB></code></a> | Specify input files that match the given glob pattern.<br><br>Multiple glob flags may be used. This flag supports common Unix glob patterns like *, ? and []. <br>However, to avoid your shell accidentally expanding glob patterns before Hurl handles them, you must use single quotes or double quotes around each pattern.<br> |
|
|
| <a href="#include" id="include"><code>-i, --include</code></a> | Include the HTTP headers in the output (last entry).<br> |
|

|
|
| <a href="#no-output" id="no-output"><code>--no-output</code></a> | Suppress output. By default, Hurl outputs the body of the last response.<br> |

| <a href="#resolve" id="resolve"><code>--resolve <HOST:PORT:ADDR></code></a> | 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.<br> |
|
|
| <a href="#retry" id="retry"><code>--retry</code></a> | Retry requests if any error occurs (asserts, captures, runtimes etc...).<br> |
|

|
|
| <a href="#retry-max-count" id="retry-max-count"><code>--retry-max-count <NUM></code></a> | Maximum number of retries. Set this option to -1 to make it unlimited. Default is 10.<br> |
|
|
| <a href="#ssl-no-revoke" id="ssl-no-revoke"><code>--ssl-no-revoke</code></a> | (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.<br> |

|
| <a href="#verbose" id="verbose"><code>-v, --verbose</code></a> | Turn on verbose output on standard error stream.<br>Useful for debugging.<br><br>A line starting with '>' means data sent by Hurl.<br>A line staring with '<' means data received by Hurl.<br>A line starting with '*' means additional info provided by Hurl.<br><br>If you only want HTTP headers in the output, [`-i, --include`](#include) might be the option you're looking for.<br> |
|
|
| <a href="#very-verbose" id="very-verbose"><code>--very-verbose</code></a> | Turn on more verbose output on standard error stream.<br><br>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.<br> |
|
|
| <a href="#help" id="help"><code>-h, --help</code></a> | Usage help. This lists all current command line options with a short description.<br> |
|
|
| <a href="#version" id="version"><code>-V, --version</code></a> | Prints version information<br> |
|
|
|
|
## 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 |
|
|
|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|

| `https_proxy [PROTOCOL://]<HOST>[:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use for HTTPS.<br> |
|
|
| `all_proxy [PROTOCOL://]<HOST>[:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use if no protocol-specific proxy is set.<br> |
|
|
| `no_proxy <comma-separated list of hosts>` | List of host names that shouldn't go through any proxy.<br> |
|
|
| `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.<br> |
|
|
| `NO_COLOR` | When set to a non-empty string, do not colorize output (see [`--no-color`](#no-color) option).<br> |
|
|
|
|
## Exit Codes
|
|
|
|
| Value | Description |
|
|
|-------|---------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `1` | Failed to parse command-line options.<br> |
|
|
| `2` | Input File Parsing Error.<br> |
|
|
| `3` | Runtime error (such as failure to connect to host).<br> |
|
|

Hurl sources are available in [GitHub].
|

### Build on Linux
|

Hurl depends on libssl, libcurl and libxml2 native libraries. You will need their development files in your platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Debian based distributions
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ apt install -y build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Red Hat based distributions
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ yum install -y pkg-config gcc openssl-devel libxml2-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Arch based distributions
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ pacman -Sy --noconfirm pkgconf gcc glibc openssl libxml2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build on macOS
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ xcode-select --install
|
|
$ brew install pkg-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Hurl is written in [Rust]. You should [install] the latest stable release.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y
|
|
$ source $HOME/.cargo/env
|
|
$ rustc --version
|
|
$ cargo --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then build hurl:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl
|
|
$ cd hurl
|
|
$ cargo build --release
