Define several urls per entry

[lepapareil]

Problem to solve

Actually , if I want to test the exact same asserts over 2 or more different urls, I can:

• Have one hurl file per url
• Have a single hurl file and duplicate the same entry per url
• Have a single hurl file with variabilized url and create an execution loop to inject each url
• Have a custom script that generates hurl files

With Curl I can request multiple urls at once:

$ curl -w "%{http_code}\n" \
    -s -o /dev/null https://hurl.dev \
    -s -o /dev/null https://hurl.dev/docs/manual.html

Proposal

Allow to define several urls per entry, for example:

• As arguments like Curl:

GET https://first.com https://second.com https://third.com
HTTP 200

[Options]
variable: urls=https://first.com https://second.com https://third.com

GET {{urls}}
HTTP 200

• From a captured list:

GET https://example.com/json/list/urls
HTTP 200
[Captures]
urls: jsonpath "$.urls"

GET {{urls}}
HTTP 200

• For example, if I want to test the perf of all urls on hurl.dev:

GET https://hurl.dev/sitemap.txt
HTTP 200
[Captures]
urls: body replace "\n" " "

GET {{urls}}
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
