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.

Hi all,

 From REST docs:

'This endpoint is used to test the Gateway's settings prior to either
creating or updating it. The information will be used to attempt to
create a link between the API Manager and the Gateway, by simply trying
to ping the Gateway's "status" endpoint.'

This part:
'The information will be used to attempt to create a link between the
API Manager and the Gateway'

( http://www.apiman.io/latest/api-manager-restdocs.html )


This means the endpoint 'http://localhost:8080/apiman/gateways/' [PUT]
is used for/to/only Apiman itself ? This can be used by other clients or
it no makes much sense ?

Thanks !
