groot-merch-service's Issues

Pins should not be passed via URL arg

Would rather pins be passed in a json obj. in an object like

{
    "netid": NETID,
    "pin": PIN,
}

will let us better mess with different auth techniques in the future

Make SERVICES_URL configurable

Creditor services URL

Creditors still uses the hardcoded localhost URL for groot services

Metrics Routes

Some way to get usage stats (common times, popular sodas, leaderboard, etc.)

"Malformed HTTP Status Code: 5"

We're seeing this entry in the merch service logs:
2017/09/08 13:57:51 Get http://groot-merch-service:6969/merch/users/bcongdo2: malformed HTTP status code "5"

This causes the credits to display as 0, and the user pin to not be displayed when viewing the credits panel in the intranet.

Originally reported as acm-uiuc/groot-credits-service#11

Accounts initialized with 5 credits

should be 500

Please change port to :6969

got to keep the meme alive:

Heartbeat lockdown

The service should prevent any further requests to Merch if the pi does not response to a heartbeat sent out by this service. This will allow us to know as soon as the service goes down. This sort of heartbeat will be very useful for Concert and other future services and Merch provides a good platform to test it on.
