POSTing zip file using httpRequest in Jenkinsfile

[Christopher Burke]

Hey everyone

   Part of my build pipeline requires that I publish a zip file to a server, so I'm trying the following:

response = httpRequest httpMode: 'POST', contentType: 'APPLICATION_OCTETSTREAM', body:"...", url: "${urlForPublish}"

   I'm not sure how to specify the body correctly, though. Could anyone point me to an example or offer any suggestions? In the meantime, I've worked around this by using curl, but it seems like using the httpRequest step would be preferable.

   Thanks,

   --- Chris

Stackoverflow is your friend : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37945370/how-to-post-json-data-in-body-with-jenkins-http-request-plugin-and-pipeline

You have http-request-plugin installed on your Jenkins?

Are you referring to the bug that was identified in a comment on that stackoverflow question? If so, it has been resolved so I assume I'm now able to use the requestBody. I'm not sure what other information in that question is pertinent as I am attmepting to read a zip file and that question relates to JSON.

That being said, I do have the http-request-plugin installed and realize I had a typo in the step I included in my first email.

    response = httpRequest httpMode: 'POST', contentType: 'APPLICATION_OCTETSTREAM', requestBody:???, url: "${urlForPublish}"

I am not sure how to read the contents of my zip file and supply them as the value for requestBody.

Christopher,

Did you ever find an answer to your question? I am trying to do the exact same thing and getting nowhere. Let me know.

Thanks,

Guillaume

Did you end up working out how to post a file to a url in Jenkins pipeline?

Does someone solve this issue ? I feel like requestBody isn't working at all. However if I'm making a "basic" POST request with query like "http://localhost:5000/api?id=1" it does work..

This worked for Me : 

def response =  httpRequest(acceptType: 'APPLICATION_JSON', contentType: 'APPLICATION_ZIP',
                         customHeaders  : [[name: "authorization" , value : "${authToken}"],[name: 'x-username' , value: 'admin']],
                         httpMode: 'POST', ignoreSslErrors: true, multipartName: 'AppDefenseBundle.zip', timeout: 900,

                         responseHandle: 'NONE', uploadFile: "${bundleUploadPath}", url: "${url}")
