tURL

tURL is a curl inspired command-line tool to make plain TCP-based requests.

Installation

You can clone the repository and use it.

git clone https://github.com/yilmaz08/turl

Usage

$ cargo run -- 127.0.0.1:80 --content "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 127.0.0.1:80\r\n\r\n"

This will send a HTTP request to 127.0.0.1:80 with the specified headers and content.

Alternatively, you can use the recently introduced HTTP Mode:
