Show HN: Hurl, test APIs with plain text and libcurl Hi, We're happy to release a new version of Hurl [1]. Hurl is a command line tool powered by curl, that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format: # Get home: GET https://example.org HTTP/1.1 200 [Captures] csrf_token: xpath "string(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)" # Do login! POST https://ift.tt/C0cJptv X-CSRF-TOKEN: HTTP/1.1 302 Hurl can be used to get data like curl, or as an integration testing tool for JSON/XML HTTP apis / HTML content. Requests can be chained, and one can add asserts on response headers, cookies and body. For instance: GET https://ift.tt/naFj7Nk screencapability: low HTTP/1.1 200 [Asserts] jsonpath "$.validated" == true jsonpath "$.userInfo.lastName" == "Herbert" jsonpath "$.hasDevice" == false jsonpath "$.links" count == 12 jsonpath "$.order" matches /^order-\d{8}$/ You can see more samples in the documentation [2]. We've designed Hurl to be easily integrated in CI/CD (GitHub, GitLab), and its text format can be used as a documentation, commited in a repo etc... It's a single binary written in Rust, that is powered by libcurl under the hood, for a fast CLI tool for both devops and developers. In this new version, we've added the following improvements: - verbose output: add more color to Hurl --verbose output, and also added --very-verbose option to output request and response bodies - request options: command-line options such as --location (follow HTTP redirection), --verbose, --insecure etc... can now be applied to a particular request with an [Options] sections - and more, see here for a quick tout of 1.7.0 [3] [1] https://ift.tt/kq2AvzZ [2] https://ift.tt/RcQHtCr [3] https://ift.tt/4cQ6wtO Previous Show HN < https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28758226 > and < https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25655737 > https://ift.tt/kq2AvzZ September 21, 2022 at 02:43PM
Women Pioneers at Muni: Adeline Svendsen and Muni’s First Newsletter By Jeremy Menzies To close out Women’s History Month, here’s a look back at one woman whose work to bring Muni staff together in the late 1940s created a legacy that lives on to this day. Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
