I try to send a post request written in kotlin and b using the fuel framework (https://github.com/kittinunf/Fuel). However, I need to send a json body with the post request as well as basic authentication credentials.

This is my current attempt which always leasds to an HTTP Exception 400. So I have the feeling there is something wrong with the way I send the body. I just cannot figure out what it is:

val myJsonBody = " n" +
 " "jql": "component = LOLO AND fixVersion = '18/3 Patch-2'",n" +
 " "startAt": 0,n" +
 " "maxResults": 300,n" +
 " "fields": [n" +
 " "issuetype",n" +
 " "created",n" +
 " "status",n" +
 " "summary",n" +
 " "customfield_10002",n" +
 " "customfield_10003",n" +
 " "customfield_11201",n" +
 " "customfield_10006"n" +
 " ]n" +
 " "
val confluenceUrl = "https://atc.mywebpage.net/jira/rest/api/2/search"

val (ignoredRequest, ignoredResponse, result) =
Fuel.post(confluenceUrl)
 .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
 .header(user,password)
 .jsonBody(myJsonBody)
 .responseString ()

result.fold( print("success: $result") , print("failure: $result") )

The functioning cURL request generated by postman looks like this:

curl -X POST 
 https://atc.mywebpage.net/jira/rest/api/2/search 
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
 -H 'Postman-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' 
 -H 'cache-control: no-cache' 
 -d '
 "jql": "component = LOLO AND fixVersion = '''18/3 Patch-2'''",
 "startAt": 0,
 "maxResults": 300,
 "fields": [
 "issuetype",
 "created",
 "status",
 "summary",
 "customfield_10002",
 "customfield_10003",
 "customfield_11201",
 "customfield_10006"
 ]
'

Try executing that request manually. Use fiddler/postman/your preferred HTTP client. Maybe you're missing something in the body or headers?

Also I recommend a raw string literal. It's much more readable.

val myJsonBody = """

 "jql": "component = LOLO AND fixVersion = '18/3 Patch-2'",
 "startAt": 0,
 "maxResults": 300,
 "fields": [
 "issuetype",
 "created",
 "status",
 "summary",
 "customfield_10002",
 "customfield_10003",
 "customfield_11201",
 "customfield_10006"
 ]

 """.trimIndent()

 val confluenceUrl = "https://atc.mywebpage.net/jira/rest/api/2/search"

 val (ignoredRequest, ignoredResponse, result) =
 Fuel.post(confluenceUrl)
 .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
 .header(user,password)
 .jsonBody(myJsonBody)
 .responseString ()

 result.fold( print("success: $result") , print("failure: $result") )

I played around a little and I found out that I had to use authentication().basic() to access properly and not header(). This is the result:

 val confluenceUrl = "https://atc.mywebpage.net/jira/rest/api/2/search"
 val user = "myUser"
 val password = "myPassword"
 val myJsonBody = """

 "jql": "component = LOLO AND fixVersion = '18/3 Patch-2'",
 "startAt": 0,
 "maxResults": 300,
 "fields": [
 "issuetype",
 "created",
 "status",
 "summary",
 "customfield_10002",
 "customfield_10003",
 "customfield_11201",
 "customfield_10006"
 ]

 """.trimIndent()

 val (ignoredRequest, ignoredResponse, result) =
 Fuel.post(confluenceUrl)
 .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
 .authentication().basic(user, password)
 .jsonBody(myJsonBody)
 .responseString ()

 result.fold( print("success: $result") , print("failure: $result") )
}
