Lab: Authorization in Spring with Auth0

The lab was good, but I felt a touch more detail would have been welcome on the “conversation” of Oauth could have been provided, e.g., Redirect/Callback URLs.

The requirement for httpie felt … unnecessary. Sure, it’s sans-localhost forms are nice, but curl is almost a de facto, or expected, tool (and often already available). Provide examples for both, maybe the conciseness of the httpie examples will intrigue developers to consider it.

At first I didn’t get the gradle examples. Then it dawned on me that the Spring Initializr defaults to Gradle. So I just generated a Maven version. Maybe include an mvn example too, for example mvn spring-boot:run or ./mvnw spring-boot:run.
