Simplifying Network Comms to help debug ingress traffic.

Recently at a client we were hit with a high latency connection. In order to prove this was not a problem with API Connect we decided to execute a curl command as close to the datapower as possible.
With the API Gateway of API Connect in Kubernetse or Openshift this is simple.
oc get po | grep gw- Select the POD Name for one of the Gateways
oc exec -ti <podname> -- bash- This will bring up a bash shell in the same pod as the datapower.
curl -vk https://127.0.0.1:9443/<API Path>- Execute the curl command changing the hostname and port to 127.0.0.1:9443
This will bypass any, firewall, load balancers and infrastructure.
