Poor-Man's Key-Value Store

There is an additional endpoint that implement a really simple key-value store that uses the application's env variable as its backend. It is possible to PUT, GET and DELETE values in the following way:

$ curl -XPUT "localhost:8080/poor-kv/some-key/some-value" -H "content-type: text/plain"

some-value

$ curl -XGET "localhost:8080/poor-kv/some-key" -H "content-type: text/plain"

some-value

$ curl -v -XGET "localhost:8080/poor-kv/non-existing-key" -H "content-type: text/plain"

...
< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...

$ curl -v -XDELETE "localhost:8080/poor-kv/some-key" -H "content-type: text/plain"

...
< HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
...

$ curl -v -XDELETE "localhost:8080/poor-kv/some-key" -H "content-type: text/plain"
