rurl

A minimal HTTP client with no dependencies, similar to curl but written in Rust. It is designed to be simple, efficient, and easy to use for making HTTP requests from the command line.

Note: The package is published as rust-curl on crates.io, but the command you run is still rurl

Features

  • HTTP and HTTPS support with proper TLS handling
  • Custom headers
  • Request body data
  • Various HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.)
  • Save response to file
  • Intelligent response handling for Content-Length and chunked transfers
  • Connection timeouts to prevent freezing or hanging
  • Verbose mode for debugging
  • Minimal memory usage with optimized buffer handling

Installation

From crates.io

bash cargo install rust-curl

From source

bash git clone https://github.com/arvid-berndtsson/rurl.git cd rurl cargo build --release && cargo install --path .

Usage

rurl [OPTIONS] <URL>

Options

  • -o, --output <FILE>: Save the response body to a file
  • -m, --method <METHOD>: HTTP method to use (default: GET)
  • -H, --header <HEADER>: Add a header to the request
  • -d, --data <DATA>: Add data to the request body
  • -v, --verbose: Enable verbose output with detailed status information
  • -h, --help: Display help message

Examples

```bash

Simple GET request

rurl https://arvid.tech

Verbose output with connection and response details

rurl -v https://example.com

POST request with JSON data

rurl -m POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"value"}' https://api.example.com

Save response to file

rurl -o response.html https://arvid.tech ```

Features and Behavior

  • Automatically follows the HTTP protocol rules for HTTP/1.1
  • Properly handles chunked transfer encoding
  • Adds 'Connection: close' to requests to ensure proper connection termination
  • Implements timeouts to prevent hanging during network issues
  • Limits maximum response size to prevent memory exhaustion
  • Provides detailed progress information in verbose mode

Acknowledgments

This project is inspired by the simplicity and power of curl, but aims to be written in a more idiomatic Rust style with a focus on minimalism and ease of use.
