use curl to check out a Spring Boot applicaion's configuration properties from a Spring Cloud Configuration service

curl-cloud-config-props.sh

# Occasionally I want to see the application properties that are pulled down from the Spring Cloud Config service that provides 
# content to our Spring Boot apps.  Since I seem to have to re-discover this every time, I figured I'd write it down to help me
# remember.
#
# Additional docs can be found here: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/single/spring-cloud-config.html

# To see the output in YML format
curl -u {the user name}:{the user password} http://{the domain:port}/{the application name}-{the spring profile name}.yml

# For example:
#   * the application is "my-spring-boot-app"; this is the name of the application's yml file that's stored in version control 
#     (e.g. my-spring-boot-app.yml)
#   * the Spring profile is "dev"
curl -u exampleUser:examplePassword http://configuration-service:8888/my-spring-boot-app-dev.yml

# If using branches to specify the configuration and not Spring profiles, then Spring will fall back to the "default" profile.
# In this case, the call looks a little bit different:
curl -u {the user name}:{the user password} http://{the domain:port}/{the application name}/{the Spring profile or "default"}/{the branch name}

# For example:
#  * the application is "my-spring-boot-app"; this is teh name of the application's yml file that's stored in version control
#    (e.g. my-spring-boot-app.yml)
#  * The spring profile is not set (meaning Spring falls back to "default")
#  * the branch is we want to use for configuration is "staging"
curl -u exampleUser:examplePassord http://configuration-service:8888/my-spring-boot-app/default/staging
