[Apiman-user] Question about Test Gateway endpoint

[Eric Wittmann]

This endpoint 'http://localhost:8080/apiman/gateways/' [PUT] is used to 
test whether a particular Gateway configuration would likely work if it 
were added via the endpoint 'http://localhost:8080/apiman/gateways/' [POST].

This is used by the UI on both the New Gateway and Edit Gateway pages. 
See the attached screenshot for details.  When the user clicks the "Test 
Gateway" button, the UI sends the gateway configuration details from the 
form to validate whether the settings are likely correct.  The API 
Manager (/apiman) will try to make a connection to the API Gateway to 
see if it can be reached and whether authentication succeeds.  If all 
goes well, the user can be reasonably certain that she has inputted 
correct information in the form.
