Weather - HTTP Requests

This sample demonstrates how to invoke a web request exiting from private networking space towards some http-based resource. In this case, we've chose to use the wonderful website returning weather information https://wttr.in.

OpenZiti Concepts Demonstrated

This sample demonstrates some key OpenZiti concepts:

Application-embedded zero trust client.
Offloading traffic from an identity. OpenZiti allows you to configure a tunneler to offload traffic towards another. This sample offloads traffic from a router to https://wttr.in using a host.v1 config.
Using an intercept.v1 to specify a URL should be intercepted by the application.
Creating a service and adding two configs to configure the service (the intercept and the host).
Service Policies to authorize identities to perform dial or bind.

Setup

Assuming you have sufficient access to the controller to modify it, you can set three environment variables to allow the sample to configure itself. To configure, set these environment variables:

ZITI_USERNAME - the username to use. Default: admin
ZITI_PASSWORD - the password to use. Default: admin
ZITI_BASEURL - the url of the controller to authenticate to. Default: localhost:1280

Running the Sample With Automatic Configuration

To run the sample, you should be able to just run it directly and it will bootstrap the overlay network, presuming you have configured the environment variables or that your controller exists on the default url and uses the default username/password.

Example:

dotnet run --project OpenZiti.NET.Samples/OpenZiti.NET.Samples.csproj weather

Running the Sample Without Configuring

You can run the sample without allowing the sample to configure the overlay. To run the sample, you will require an identity that has access to a service named weather-demo-svc or you will need to modify the sample code and change the referenced service name. Then, when executing the service, pass noinit and pass the identity file as shown:

dotnet run --project OpenZiti.NET.Samples/OpenZiti.NET.Samples.csproj weather noinit /some/path/to/an/identity
