How to export to HTML from Search Results from command line (need authentication)

Question

Hello, If I go into Issues>Search for Issues, type in my JQL, then click Export>HTML(Current Fields) it makes a nice html web page. If I hover over HTML(Current Fields) it gives me the following URL: /sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+=++AND+fixVersion+=++ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=1000 When i go on command line and do wget /sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+=++AND+fixVersion+=++ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=1000 > saveJIRA.html it returns with a 400 error. I am guessing this is because I did not include authentication information and our JIRA and the project itself are locked by user groups. So I tried wget /sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?os_username-&os_password=&jqlQuery=project+=++AND+fixVersion+=++ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=1000 > saveJIRA.html And that generated two files. saveJIRA.html which is blank, and SearchRequest.html|?os_username= which actually looks kind of like the page I was expecting except it says displaying 0 issues and there are no issues listed. So what am I missing here?

Hi Zlatko,

I am using a mac to test this out and By default, there is no wget on Mac OS, so I was using the equivalent of Linux’s wget which is curl -O and getting similar results to what you were seeing.

I was not able to get this working with wget equivelent curl -O, However doing a curl -X with a basic GET on the endpoint was working great using this format:

curl -u username:password -X GET http://BASE_URL/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+=+ASDF+AND+fixVersion+=+1.0+ORDER+BY+key+ASC > test.html

I would recommend trying out curl instead and on windows you can get curl installed from the open source project https://curl.haxx.se/windows/
