Hurl.it was originally created by Chris Wanstranth and Leah Culver at the 2009 Rails Rumble. We (Twilio) just took over maintenance of the project because it has some obvious utility when testing URL callbacks and webhooks. We want to make some improvements to it, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. You can post them here or create an issue on the current home of the project on Github: https://github.com/twilio/hurl https://github.com/twilio/hurl And you can follow @hurlit for updates

It is a great utility, thanks for taking it over and giving it more stability.

It will be gr8 if you can add OAuth signing support to hurl. Testing urls that need to be signed with OAuth is a major pain point.

It would be great if instead of a website you port it to a browser plug-in. It would achieve several things: * Better security for the user (the paranoid in me do not want to send my credentials through a third party site). * It could use the credentials stored in the browser (cookies, basic-auth, etc). * The IP of the requester would not be hidden, allowing IP filtering for development servers. * It could run on a PC that is not connected to internet.

  For chrome, I like using the "REST Console" extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cokgbflfommojglbmbpenpphppikmonn https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cokgbflfommojglbmb...), which I believe has all of the benefits you listed. The "credentials stored in a browser" thing is the main reason for me to be using it.

  For Firefox I recommend Poster: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/poster/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/poster/
