Summary
The documentation exhibits mild Windows bias, primarily in its recommendations and tooling references. In the 'TIP' section about testing REST APIs, only Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod, web browser) are mentioned, with PowerShell called out explicitly. Additionally, when describing how to convert a certificate to base64, the only linked guide uses PowerShell, a Windows-first tool. There is no mention of Linux-native tools or cross-platform alternatives for these common tasks, and Windows tools are listed first and exclusively.
Recommendations
  • When suggesting tools for testing REST APIs, include cross-platform and Linux-native options such as curl, httpie, or Postman, alongside PowerShell and Visual Studio.
  • When referencing certificate conversion, provide Linux/Unix command-line alternatives (e.g., openssl) and link to relevant documentation or examples.
  • Avoid listing Windows tools first or exclusively; present cross-platform or platform-neutral options where possible.
  • Explicitly state that all examples and tooling recommendations are applicable to both Windows and Linux, or provide platform-specific instructions as needed.
