I was surprised when I first saw Copy as cURL in Chrome... and very happy to see it here. It makes for a great base test case... now if the api client tools would only take one of these curl commands and set the settings for a request.
I think it's almost funny, but a cURL command line could become the common interface for many tools.
There's a really nice add-on for Firefox called "cliget" that adds a "copy as curl" (or wget) menu item when you right click any link in the browser. I find it heavenly when I need to download something that needs authentication to a remote server.
