Display Cloud Foundry environment variables

A simple Sinatra application. Once deployed to Cloud Foundry, it will echo the Environment and HTTP Request Headers.

This is especially useful to learn about service connection details ($VCAP_SERVICES) being passed to an application. Create them, bind them to this running application, and you'll see the nested JSON string that is set in $VCAP_SERVICES.

Deploy

The repo contains a manifest file which creates a new application called cfenv, with a random string in the URL to avoid collisions.

To deploy:

$ cf push
Using manifest file manifest.yml
