This idea came from a brainstorming with @philwebb on #66

Since curl is sending a user-agent header we could react to that and instead of dumping the meta-data in JSON format, we could provide assistance as to how the commands can be written.

Spring boot CLI has two kind of assistance:

  • spring help init is a help page on the init command with a few examples and a description of the various options
  • spring init --list contact the server and list its capabilities. This provides namely the supported dependencies (i.e. starters) and their respective ids.

Since we need to contact the server anyway, curl start.spring.io could return a text document tailored for curl with both a usage description and the capabilities of the server.

Explicit support for curl

Add an explicit support for curl by returning a text description of the
service instead of the raw meta-data. curl users can still discover the
json metadata by setting the appropriate Accept header.

Add an explicit support for curl by returning a text description of the
service instead of the raw meta-data. curl users can still discover the
json metadata by setting the appropriate Accept header.

Also support for explicit "text/plain" if the user requires it. In this
case a generic text description is returned.

Closes spring-iogh-67
