In plain words
Convert curl commands to Ruby's net/http is a web tool that transforms curl commands into Ruby code using the standard library's net/http module. It supports common curl options including data, headers, authentication, and request methods, making it useful for developers who want to avoid external dependencies in libraries and utilities. The tool was inspired by a similar curl-to-go converter and welcomes community contributions on GitHub.

From the sources
Ruby's net/http is notorious for not having the friendliest API, but it isn't all that bad. Ruby has great gems like faraday , but in libraries and small utilities it's better to kill your dependencies and use what the stdlib provides. This tool turns a curl command into ruby (2.0+) code using net/http . Currently, it knows the following options: -d / --data , -H / --header , -I / --head , -u / --user , -k / --insecure , --url , and -X / --request . There's probably bugs; please contribute on GitHub . Based on curl-to-gofrom jhawthorn.github.io

Uncurl.dev – Convert curl commands to a shareable, executable UI2025 · uncurl.dev · ▲115Hey HN, I built uncurl.dev to scratch my own itch: I kept getting curl commands in API docs, bug reports, or Slack messages and wanted a quick way to visualize, run, and debug them without firing up Postman or writing code to dissect them. It was also sometimes painful to create a test page specifically for non-tech users to consume an API. I originally vibe-coded this over a weekend just to make it easier for myself to debug API requests shared as curl commands. It slowly grew into something I found surprisingly useful in my workflow, so I decided to clean it up and share it. uncurl.dev…
