Jira REST API download attachments redirect to a login page

Dina Abezgauz

I have an electron app where users login in to their JIRA accounts using OAuth 2.0

I create a GET request to /rest/api/2/search with Bearer authorization token to get the issue list.
From the issue metadata I get the attachment content url and make a GET request to /secure/attachment/{id}/{filename} (without Bearer authorization)

Sometimes instead of the redirection to the attachment file I get an redirection to a login page.
I think it could be because of expiration of cloud.session.token cookie (the expiry date is setting to now + 1 month)

If I delete cloud.session.token manually and repeat my flow: request to /rest/api/2/search with Bearer authorization token, then request to /secure/attachment/{id}/{filename} I get the same results (redirection to a login page)
How can I prevent such behavior?

Thanks.
Regards.
Dina.

Hello @Dina Abezgauz ,

Before going any further, let me mention that this is not the best place to get support on development related topics and that I might not be the best person to answer this question. The right resources are listed in https://developer.atlassian.com/resources.

Specifically:

• Ask the Developers Community
• Create a Developer Support Request

 

However, what you are describing could be related to the issue discussed 5 days ago in the Developers Community:

• /issue method returns invalid attachment URL

 

The above thread resulted in the creation of the following bug ticket: 

• [ACJIRA-2136] Invalid issue attachment URLs in OAuth 2.0 (3LO) response

 

Please review above links in order to check if you can find anything useful in there. In case they don't help I would advise to create either a new thread in the Developers Community or a new Developer Support Request.

 

 

Cheers,
Dario
