I'm trying to translate a working curl command to groovy, so I can natively execute it in my Jenkins pipeline. My problem is that the curl command works, but my groovy request fails with a 400 error from the pushgateway of prometheus. My code in groovy looks like this:
def post = new URL("https://prometheus_url").openConnection();
def message = '''
# TYPE some_metric counter
some_metric{label="val1"} 42
# TYPE another_metric gauge
# HELP another_metric Just an example.
another_metric 2398.283
''';
post.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
post.with {
doOutput = true
requestMethod = 'POST'
outputStream.withWriter { writer ->
writer << message.bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
}
println content.text
}
assert post.responseCode == 200
The error that I'm receiving is
Caught: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://prometheus_url
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://prometheus_url
The working curl command that I'm trying to copy is the following
cat <<EOF | curl --data-binary @- 'https://prometheus_url' -vvv
# TYPE some_metric counter
some_metric{label="val1"} 42
# TYPE another_metric gauge
# HELP another_metric Just an example.
another_metric 2398.283
EOF
So my question is, what am I missing between my groovy code and the curl command to be receiving this error?
EDIT: I'm adding the verbose text from the working curl operation
cat <<EOF | curl --data-binary @- 'https://prometheus_url' -vvv
# TYPE some_metric counter
some_metric{label="val1"} 42
# TYPE another_metric gauge
# HELP another_metric Just an example.
another_metric 2398.283

After fiddling further with the code, it seems that the base64 encoding wasn't needed after all. Thus a more simplified and working code is the following:
def post = new URL("https://prometheus_url").openConnection();
def message = """
# TYPE some_metric counter
some_metric{label="val1"} 42
# TYPE another_metric gauge
# HELP another_metric Just an example.
another_metric 2398.283
""";
post.setRequestMethod("POST");
post.setDoOutput(true);
post.getOutputStream().write(message.bytes);
assert post.responseCode == 200
