HTTP PUT in Groovy

Question

Good evening, I have been trying to send a PUT request to the Confluence API using a groovy script, It works fine if I use curl but I am not able to do it with the following code. I always get a 403. def putFunction(){ try { def put = new URL("https://URLREQUESTED.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/3290431880").openConnection(); def auth = "username:token".bytes.encodeBase64() def message = '

TEST TEST TEST

' put.setRequestMethod("PUT") put.setDoOutput(true) put.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json") put.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic" + "${auth}") put.getOutputStream().write(message.getBytes("UTF-8")); def putRC = put.getResponseCode(); println(putRC); if (putRC.equals(200)) { println(put.getInputStream().getText()); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace() } }What am I doing wrong here? I've done a get with the same method and it works fine.Thanks for your help, best regards.

First thoughts:

1. You don't have a space in the line

"Basic" + "${auth}"

after "Basic". Should be "Basic " (space before last quote).

Right now you have

Basicusername:token

Should be

Basic username:token

2. Are you sure about  ?

def auth    = "username:token".bytes.encodeBase64()

Did you try?

def auth    = "username:token"

I am getting a 403, but I did provide the authorization:

def auth         = "admin@admin:token".bytes.encodeBase64()I get no error message, just the code :S, maybe the headers are incomplete?? I've tried several solutions that worked with curl but not with the custom method.

Hi @Borja Tortosa . It's hard to say. What is the error code? What is the error message? Did you provide all necessary parameters for the  PUT request?
