Hands-On Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

Routing requests to the Eureka server's API and web page

Eureka exposes both an API and a web page for its clients. To provide a clean separation between the API and the web page in Eureka, we will set up routes as follows:

• Requests sent to the edge server with the path starting with /eureka/api/ should be handled as a call to the Eureka API. 
• Requests sent to the edge server with the path starting with /eureka/web/ should be handled as a call to the Eureka web page.

API requests will be routed to http://${app.eureka-server}:8761/eureka. The route rule for the Eureka API looks like this:

- id: eureka-api  uri: http://${app.eureka-server}:8761  predicates:  - Path=/eureka/api/{segment}  filters:  - SetPath=/eureka/{segment}

The {segment} part ...
