Cannot parse command line delimiters using hurlfmt

[avimmer]

What is the current bug behavior?

# This request has been copied from Chrome dev tools and inserted as is 
cat | hurlfmt --in curl
curl 'https://hurl.dev/assets/css/styles.css?de3a9b0' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua-platform: "macOS"' \
  -H 'Referer: https://hurl.dev/docs/frequently-asked-questions.html' \
  -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/131.0.0.0' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua: "Microsoft Edge";v="131", "Chromium";v="131", "Not_A Brand";v="24"' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0'
error: Can not parse curl command at line 1: Invalid escape at column 56

Steps to reproduce

Format curl command where args are separated by new lines with newline character escaped with \.

What is the expected correct behavior?

I want hurlfmt to be able to format commands without modifications.

Execution context

• Hurl Version (hurl --version):
  hurlfmt --version
  hurlfmt 6.0.0

Possible fixes

Hi @avimmer,

It's working using cat << EOF approach, for example testing with https://hurl.dev/docs/installation.html (copied from Chrome devtools) :

cat << EOF | hurlfmt --in curl
. curl 'https://hurl.dev/docs/installation.html' \
  -H 'Referer: https://hurl.dev/' \
  -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1' \
  -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua: "Google Chrome";v="131", "Chromium";v="131", "Not_A Brand";v="24"' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua-platform: "Windows"'
. EOF

@lepapareil Heredoc works and is good enough workaround for me. Thank you!

hurlfmt --in curl << EOF
