I was working on handling the responses, putting it into a bash variable,
but ran into an issue with the login script where I needed to store the
auth token and the http response, and things got complicated. The
run-all-tests didn't want additional output (http code) from login, and
only the token, so I gave up.
Other nice features would be red/green pass/fail results. Kind of wasteful
now, with the reasonable number of endpoints, but you could imagine that
this would be useful if the number of endpoints doubles over time.
But what this is, is essentially real world documentation, to help guide
implementations in any other language.
