Second, realize that this was developed from start to finish in 48 hours, by some not untalented people... they seem to have put a lot of thought into it, and the details really show.
Third, saying you could do anything nontrivial in "10 lines of code" reminds me of this guy http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=678501 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=678501
- maelstrom 17y agoSorry, making an http request and showing the response in headers qualifies as trivial in most modern programming languages.

- defunkt 17y agoYeah, it does. Sounds like we should change this: Hurl makes HTTP requests. Enter a URL, set some headers, then view the response. Perfect for APIs. To something like this: Hurl makes HTTP requests. Enter a URL, set some headers, get a response, then share it with others. Perfect for demoing and debugging APIs.
