###To Login:

1. curl -i -X POST -d username=Tom -d password=haha http://localhost:8080/login (Tom is a user stored in database)

2. curl -i -X POST -d username=Tom -d password=haha -c ./cookies.txt http://localhost:8080/login (To store cookie)

3. curl -i --header "Accept:application/json" -X GET -b ./cookies.txt http://localhost:8080/foos

   This would return 200 if the cookie is correct, 401 if not cookie is in the GET call

4. curl -i --header "Accept:application/json" -X GET -b ./cookies.txt http://localhost:8080/logout

   This would logout, 302 is returned
