Access to the POST Body

[Justin Paston-Cooper]

Hello,

Gitlab can be configured to have "web hooks" which POST JSON data describing merge requests to chosen URLs. In my case, I would like to have a single Jenkins job to POST to, which would handle all merge requests.

After extensive searching, I have been unable to find a plugin which is able to read POST body (and preferably the headers). It doesn't seem possible to configure Gitlab to pass the data as a URL parameter. Is there a specific reason why there is no such plugin? Is there an alternative?

Thanks,

Justin Paston-Cooper

I'm not sure whether I understand what you want, but as far as I know, there is a plugin specifically targeted to gitlab merge request. And the gitlab-hook plugin, on its current snapshot (1.4.0) should handle merge requests, although I still need to adjust some things before release. But the master branch from my fork (javiplx/jenkins-gitlab-hook-plugin) is the code we use in our jenkins and does work.

The GitHub webhook handler demonstrates some of this stuff:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-plugin/blob/27a9d6f/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/jenkins/GitHubWebHook.java#L155-L167

If you want to read the POST body, as opposed to a form variable (as the
GitHub plugin is doing), you can call req.getInputStream().
