Hi @John Michael Sunga For your requirement, you should instead try using a GET request instead of a POST request. Below is a sample code for your reference:- import groovy.json.JsonOutput import groovyx.net.http.ContentType import groovyx.net.http.HttpResponseDecorator import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient final externalUrl = "https://www-mbl-test:11443" def getResponse = get(externalUrl, '/api/jwt/login', '') if (getResponse) { def responseGetMap = getResponse as Map responseGetMap } def get(def hostUrl, def endpoint, def query) { if (hostUrl.toString().contains('&') || hostUrl.toString().contains('?')) { log.error 'The parameters of the endpoint must be included in the query variable' return } def username = '' def password = '' def client = new RESTClient(hostUrl) def headers = ['Authorization': "Basic ${"${username}:${password}".bytes.encodeBase64()}", 'Accept': 'application/json'] as Map client.setHeaders(headers) client.handler.success = { HttpResponseDecorator response, json -> log.warn "======>>>> ${response.statusLine}" log.warn "======>>>> ${json}" json } client.handler.failure = { HttpResponseDecorator response -> log.error response.entity.content.text [:] } client.get(path: endpoint, queryString: query, contentType: ContentType.JSON ) } Please note that the sample code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence you will need to make the required modifications. Thank you and Kind regards, Ram

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

import groovyx.net.http.Method

import groovyx.net.http.ContentType

def http = new HTTPBuilder("https://www-mbl-test:11443")

def data = http.request(Method.POST,ContentType.URLENC){ req ->

uri.path = "/api/jwt/login"

body = [username:"USERNAME", password:"PASSWORD"]

response.success = { resp, jsonData ->

log.error("success"+resp.statusLine);

assert resp.status == 200

return jsonData

}

response.failure = {resp ->

log.error("failure")

return null

}

Hi @John Michael Sunga

Could you please share your code in a text format, so I can review it and provide some feedback?

Also, if you are trying to connect to an external REST Service, I suggest using this Adaptavist Library example.

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you and Kind regards,
