Better guidance on the appropriate "Service url" to use #144

Open willsmythe opened 8 years ago

Service URL generally needs to be a collection or deployment level endpoint. This isn't clear from the tool itself (the README somewhat explains) and failing to provide a collection level endpoint, for example, when invoking a collection-level command does not give the user much of an indication as to the problem.

Consider ..

  1. Provide inline examples of valid service URLs (with the login command)
  2. Fuller set of examples in the docs
  3. Show a better message when a "wrong" URL is provided

Gonna change how this works when I fix #141
