Hurl file should be encoded in UTF-8, without byte order mark to the beginning (while Hurl ignores the presence of a byte order mark rather than treating it as an error)
Hurl file extension is .hurl
Comments begins with #
and continue until the end of line. Hurl file can serve as
a documentation for HTTP based workflows so it can be useful to be very descriptive.
# A very simple Hurl file
# with tasty comments...
GET https://www.sample.net
x-app: MY_APP # Add a dummy header
HTTP/1.1 302 # Check that we have a redirection
[Asserts]
header "Location" exists
header "Location" contains "login" # Check that we are redirected to the login page
String can include the following special characters:
GET http://api.example.com
HTTP/1.1 200
# The following assert are equivalent:
[Asserts]
jsonpath "$.slideshow.title" equals "A beautiful ✈!"
jsonpath "$.slideshow.title" equals "A beautiful \u{2708}!"
In some case, (in headers value, etc..), you will also need to escape # to distinguish from a comment. In the following example:
GET http://api.example.com
x-token: BEEF \#STEACK # Some somment
HTTP/1.1 200
We’re sending a header x-token
with value BEEF #STEACK
