Exception creating Confluence content: JsonParseException

Question

We have a significantly sized payload that creates content in Confluence as part of our release documentation. We are seeing these errors consistently while posting content:

"message": "org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected end-of-input in VALUE_STRING
 at [Source: com.atlassian.plugins.rest.common.limitrequest.jersey.LimitingRequestFilter$1@2f4690c; line: 1, column: 5249]"

The payload is mighty large to paste in here, but when it's copied verbatim from debug logs into Postman, the same POST message is received, and the server returns with an HTTP 200/OK.

I've inspected the "value" string, and there's no EOL or null characters in there, and it's complete HTML markup. Most of the content is actually coming from a Bitbucket webhook, rendering Pull Request description html.

Is the request volume too high? Is that what a LimitingRequestFilter does?

Please advise,

Thank you

@Grigory Salnikov Thanks for that link!

Any insight on best practices to creating content on Confluence via the API, if the size of the REST request is limited?

The request that I'm submitting is not very large, ~6K max. Is that hitting the limit of the Confluence REST API?

Hi @David Zwarg

Yes, it's what it does:

Class LimitingRequestFilter

... ContainerRequestFilter that limits the maximum size of the REST request it will receive.
