I suggest adding an interactive mode!

Aside: I tried to go through the samples and was having trouble running them successfully.

Yes interactive mode is a must have.

For the sample, maybe this is not obvious but you have to write the sample in a text file:

$ vi test.hurl

  GET https://news.ycombinator.com
  HTTP/1.1 200

And then use this file with Hurl:

$ hurl test.hurl

Yeah I saw the file option. I think it will be nifty when we have to do large request payloads, but ideally for example the sample, `echo GET http://httpbin.org/get | hurl` we could do something like: `hurl -i echo GET http://httpbin.org/get`. I understand its a bit subjective :)

We are planning the possibility to stop between requests with an inspection mode. We would also love an ncurse interface, like mitmproxy.
