Hi All,

I'm using Jenkins 2.89.4.

I'm making an API call using

/usr/bin/curl -X GET -k --cookie `cat cookie.txt` https://JENKINS_URL/job/MYJOBNAME/lastCompletedBuild/api/xml/ --user usr:token

But it is resulting in 404 error like below

<html>

<head>

<title>Error 404 Not Found</title>

</head>

<body><h2>HTTP ERROR 404</h2>

<p>Problem accessing /jenkins/job/Hadoop-y-branch-2.8-3-EndToEnd/lastCompletedBuild/api/xml/. Reason:

<pre> Not Found</pre></p><hr><a href="http://eclipse.org/jetty">Powered by Jetty:// 9.4.z-SNAPSHOT</a><hr/>

</body>

</html>

I also enabled 'Prevent Cross Site Request Forgery exploits' and 'Enable proxy compatibility' in configureSecurity but could not get it to work. Am I missing something obvious?

$ curl --version

curl 7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.27.1 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2

Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps scp sftp

Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks!

FYI, this issue was due to restricted permission for the user. After relaxing the permission API call worked as expected.
