I am developing an application that extracts data from a JIRA database. I am using RESTClient API to do basic authentication using post method.
Full code (redacted):
class IssuesController {
def xyz = this.encodeAuth("username", "password")
def index() {
def login = new RESTClient ('http://my-jira/rest/auth/1/')
def response = login.post(
path : 'session',
headers : ['Authorization' : 'Basic ' + xyz + '=='])
render response.data.toString()
}
public String encodeAuth(username, password) {
def authC = username + ':' + password
def bytes = authC.bytes
return bytes.encodeBase64().toString();
}
I am getting an HTTPResponseException with a message Unsupported Media Type. If I use get method instead, the authentication works just fine. (But it doesn't start a session, so no use). I even tried changing the headers, headers : ['Content-Type' : 'application/json', 'Accept' : 'application/json'].
Used FireBug to analyze the network headers, the Content-Type and Accept headers still didn't change.
Response Headers
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8
Content-Language: en-US
Connection: close
Request Headers
GET /GTPortal/issues/index HTTP/1.1

Any help why the message Unsupported Media Type when using POST!?
Check what kind of requested data accepting by your rest service like application/json or etc. and also missing body part in your post request.
RESTClient will put Accept: */* in the request header, and parse the response based on whatever is given in the response content-type header.For more information visit.
