What Hacker News says

5 sources
Hurl.it was originally created by Chris Wanstranth and Leah Culver at the 2009 Rails Rumble. We (Twilio) just took over maintenance of the project because it has some obvious utility when testing URL callbacks and webhooks. We want to make some improvements to it, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. You can post them here or create an issue on the current home of the project on Github: https://github.com/twilio/hurl And you can follow @hurlit for updates

No need to pay, we (Twilio) are now actively maintaining it and going to be adding some new features. Common templates exists (not documented) yet. You can put values in URL parameters and the fields will autopopulate effectively giving you URL-based templates. Responses are already saved, click the permalink to get back to them later. If you have any other feedback items, feel free to post them here or on https://github.com/twilio/hurl and we'll take a look at them. Pull requests are even better.
