hurl: Simple service to initiate HTTP requests and trace its response
Ever needed to examine a response for a given request? Here we go! hurl is a neat and simple web based service which allows us to initiate a customized HTTP request and presents the resulting response in a nicely formatted manner. Free, responsive and several configuration options.
This is how Chris and Leah – the creators of hurl – put it:
Hurl makes HTTP requests.
Choose the request method, customize headers and POST parameters, add basic authorization, and even follow redirects. Then view the nicely formatted request and response.
It’s the perfect tool for testing APIs. Just enter a URL and click send.
Formatted request details (incl. followed redirects!)
