Love the unicorn puking a rainbow on their 404 error page.

Thanks! Me too.

Very, very cool.. and I love the name. That said, I regularly test APIs using actual usernames and passwords via HTTP Basic Auth. It will be a cold day in hell before I toss my credentials in cleartext into a web form. :-) I really like the syntax-highlighted, pretty-printed JSON output, though. Really handy.

We plan to open source Hurl so you can run it somewhere if you want (for auth reasons).

This is what I love to hear (now to get those Twiddlr kids to let me run a local instance...).

Very slick, but it really needs a JSON pretty printer in addition to the XML one. Most JSON services just send one huge line, which is exactly how Hurl displays it.

Can you give me an example URL? Sounds like a bug. We do pretty print JSON: http://hurl.me/ufsmb1

Ah, I assume you are relying on the MIME type to be application/json, which is far from universal. A heuristic JSON detector shouldn't be hard.
