Create a Hurl Entry from a Curl?

(Imported from original discussion @leeola)

To rapidly create tests it would be helpful to be able to create Hurl Entries from a Curl command directly. Eg allowing a workflow of going through a browser application and copying the API requests via Copy as cURL and importing that directly into Hurl.

Is that possible now?

That would be very useful, indeed. For a first step, we could provide Python scripts to make that conversion between curl commands and Hurl.

There is also the conversion between HAR and Hurl.

@fabricereix Is there any progress in this function now? I also think this function can make curl users better use it

[fabricereix]

not really I'll try to start a script in the next few days

We could add this convertion in hurlfmt.

Currently, hurlfmt takes only an Hurl input and the output format is specified with --format text(default), json or html

We could also specify the input format.

for example

cat sample.curl | hurlfmt --in curl --out hurl   > sample.hurl

--in   Specify input format hurl (default), curl or har
--out  Specify output format hurl (default), json or html

The --format option will therefore be replaced by --out. We could even add more combinations in the future, for example, for Hurl to curl.

Thank you very much I personally look forward to this feature

Hi @zorohu, the option --in curl has been added in hurlfmt in master. It's still beta, it supports only a few curl options. I would be interested to get your feedback before releasing a new version.

But you will need need rust installed and run cargo build. hurlfmt is built by default in target/debug.
