Spring Boot Echo Example

A small app that echoes back a nice JSON with some info from the incoming requests:

• Request protocol
• Request method
• Request headers
• Request cookies
• Request params (query string)
• Request path
• Request body (Base64 encoded)

Is is usefull to trace/debug problems while developing REST APIs and SOAP WebServices.

Features:

1. Spring Boot 2.6.x, supporting fully executable JARs
2. Accepts HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and OPTIONS
3. Accepts all content type (*/*)
4. Catches everything (ie, mapped at /**), thus no webjars, no favicon.ico and no /error
5. Response code is always a 404 "Not Found" to avoid unexpected client behavior
6. GZip compression is disabled (on purpose) to avoid unexpected client behavior
7. Response content type is always "application/json;charset=UTF-8".
8. Small. Final JAR includes everything (it self-contained) and it is only 17 MB
9. Docker image, published to GCR (Github Container Registry)
