Maybe "tee" "arr" url? I'm guessing the "tr" is for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr_(Unix)

Apparently, it requires curl 7.81 to compile, but I'm on ubuntu 20 (7.6x) and wanted to do a quick try, so this patch makes it work (trivially) by removing the couple of new symbols depending on that newer version. Just a quick hack to compile.

Trurl is the name of a character in the science fiction short story collection "The Cyberiad" by Polish author Stanisław Lem. Trurl is a highly intelligent robot and inventor who, along with his friend Klapaucius, goes on various adventures throughout the universe.

#9Oh, c'mon, “purl” was right there!

#10Pretty dang cool, but I might have missed a feature: can trurl do multiple manipulations on a single url, as opposed to a single manipulation on multiple urls (which the blog post says is supported)?
For example, you want to apply a sequence of predefined normalization steps, such as removing the user part, converting http to https, etc etc. You put these steps in a file and then invoke trurl with that file and pointed at your url or urls. Very much like what you would do in sed, say. Possible?
