Project mention: Hurl: Run and test HTTP requests with plain text | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-19
Hurl has been great for testing in my RAD templating web server project. Like dm03514 says, 'The hurl-based tests really help to enforce the "client" perspective.' It's packaged for 3 application environments (x2 archs, x3 oses) and with Hurl its easy to ensure the tests pass at the client level in all three environments.
It would be nice to have fancy-regex; today I tried to write a regex to match a case like this ~ ~ but the regex crate (and thus hurl asserts) can't do backreferences so I guess I'll just live without checking that these two substrings match.
I wish there was some way to test streamed updates / SSE. Basically, open a connection and wait, then run some other http requests, then assert the accumulated stream from the original connection. https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl/discussions/2636

Project mention: I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-31
We do have the networking abstracted behind a trait (so people can bring their own implementation if they want), but we need something for testing (and it's convenient for users if we provide a default option for them too).
I would also note that our networking support is a pretty thin layer around the https://docs.rs/reqwest/ crate. As well as HTTP, reqwest is handling things like cookies and form encoding for us.
