burl(1) is a tiny shell script augmenting curl(1) with some helpful shortcuts.
$ make install
By default burl(1) will assume "http://localhost:3000", however you
can alter this by exporting BURL in your terminal session or .profile:
$ export BURL=http://site-im-testing.com
$ burl /pathname
POST data as "Content-Type: application/json":
$ burl -j {"name":"tobi"} /user
With burl(1) you can define header fields without -H:
$ burl If-None-Match: etag /users
$ burl If-None-Match: etag Accept: application/json /users
Currently .json, .text and .html shorthands are
available and set the Accept header field for you:
$ burl /users
$ burl /users .json
$ burl /users .text
$ burl /users .html
