Seems like it? Except curl already has decent syntax and lets you directly control what you're doing so you know what the generated request is going to look like. No magic.

I can't see how these tools are powerful enough to replace curl, so you still need to know how to use curl, but at the same time this DSL isn't self explanatory.

I'd rather just use curl, and my team will be careful I didn't ask them to learn another DSL. They already know how to use curl.
