We do actually need at least a key-value store backend. Hurl uses
redis, we could use it too. It's for storing what they call 'hurls',
which are encapsulation of a given HTTP request (be it GET, POST,
etc.) with its associated parameters and HTTP headers, into a unique
URL which can be accessed via a GET operation at a later time. This is
handy for example when you want to set up test data inside a Selenium
script, because you can access that one 'hurl' URL like any other web
page, while behind the scenes hurl does the POST again.

As far as Django goes, I proposed it because I know many people in the
group want to learn it. It is a bit heavy for this particular project,
but at least it would make people familiar with some of its
functionality.

Not sure. Any ideas?
