Artifactory Deploy Error: HTTP Status 500 - more than one filter accepted this request

NOTE: This is a Q&A added to share information

This error comes up when you try to push to a local php repository on artifactory

The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Solution

In my case the issue was that I was using both the generated token and a header specifying the token in the request.

Example:

curl -H "X-JFrog-Art-Api: <token>" http://<user_id>:<token>@docker.for.mac.localhost/artifactory/php-local/

The fix was to remove the custom header. i.e use only

curl http://<user_id>:<token>@docker.for.mac.localhost/artifactory/php-local/
