1. export INGRESS_HOST=$(minikube ip)

...

1. export INGRESS_PORT=$(kubectl -n istio-system get service istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[?(@.name=="http2")].nodePort}')

...

1. Test the service:

...

1. 
   curl --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" $INGRESS_HOST:$INGRESS_PORT/headers -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n"

...

1. You should get a response code of 200

...

1. Update the token to something invalid
