REST API Attachments

[Phil Spence]

I can add an attachment to an existing issue from the command line using cURL as follows:

curl -D- -u testuser:testuser -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -F "file=@test.txt" http://localhost:8090/rest/api/2/issue/TES-1/attachments

However, when I try to execute the same code from PHP using what I believe to be the exact same parameters, I recieve an "HTTP Status 415 - Unsupported Media Type". Here is the code:

<?php

$username = 'testuser';
$password = 'testuser';
$url = "http://localhost:8090/rest/api/2/issue/TES-1/attachments";
$data = array (
'file'=>'test.txt'
);

$ch = curl_init();
$headers = array(
"X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck",
'Content-Type: application/json'
);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");

$result = curl_exec($ch);
$ch_error = curl_error($ch);

if ($ch_error) {
echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";
} else {
echo $result;
}
curl_close($ch);

?>

TIA.

NOTE:

X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck

is not correct header value. It should be:

X-Atlassian-Token: no-check

For some reason our Jira 5.2 version only works with "nocheck" value. With "no-check" I still get "jira.utils.JIRAError: JiraError HTTP 404 text: XSRF check failed"

Phil - Did you ever find a solution?

POST /rest/api/2/issue/sdlcdevops-3238/attachments HTTP/1.1

Content-Type:

This has worked for me.

content type should be "multipart/form-data"

check some sample code in other languages

Progress, I think. Now I get the following error.

FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found

In the CLI, it seems like cURL takes care of setting the boundary -- Not sure if I have to set it manually.

I tried removing 'Content-Type: application/json' but the result is the same.

[Zul NS _Atlassian_]

$headers = array(
"X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck",
'Content-Type: application/json'
);

Shouldn't the above be only X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck and not both?
