I want to like this, but the for loop is unnecessarily messy, and not correct.

   for route in foo bar baz do
   curl localhost:8080/$route
   done

That's just begging go wonky. Should be

  stuff="foo bar baz"
  for route in $stuff; do
  echo curl localhost:8080/$route
  done

Some might say that it's not absolutely necessary to abstract the array into a variable and that's true, but it sure does make edits a lot easier. And, the original is missing a semicolon after the 'do'.

I think it's one reason I dislike lists like this- a newb might look at these and stuff them into their toolkit without really knowing why they don't work. It slows down learning. Plus, faulty tooling can be unnecessarily destructive.
