XSRF Security Token Missing when trying to post a form with e.g. curl or python

[Peter Ries]

Hi,

we have a python script that recursively checks all projects/repositories for a checked "allow forks" setting.

The get request works without any problem.

But when we try to switch off "allow forks" with a post request an error "XSRF Security Token Missing" occurs.

For debugging purposes we crosschecked this behaviour using curl. Same problem here.

Our curl command (servername removed):

curl -vs --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -X POST -d '{"name":"bitbucket","forkable":"off"}' https://servername.domain.de:8443/projects/XXX/repos/bitbucket/settings

Output (security relevant information removed)

 About to connect() to servername.domain.de port 8443 (#0)
 Trying ip_here...
 Connected to servername.domain.de (ip_here) port 8443 (#0)

 User-Agent: curl/7.29.0
 Host: servername.domain.de:8443
 Accept: */*
 Content-Type: application/json
 X-Atlassian-Token: no-check
 Content-Length: 37

and lots of HTML output containing the error "XSRF Security Token Missing" somewhere inside.

We also tried passing the -u 'username' parameter and the password along woth the curl command - same result.

All the documentation found in the web results in using the

X-Atlassian-Token: no-check

in the header information. It doesn'n matter if I use nocheck or no-check.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks & regards

Peter

Are you missing /rest/api/1.0 in your URL?

[Peter Ries]

Hi Josh,

thanks for your hint. I already tried this

curl -vs --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -H "Origin: https://SERVERNAME.tui.de:8443" -X POST -d '{"name":"bitbucket","forkable":"off"}' -u BITBUCKETUSER https://SERVERNAME:8443/rest/api/1.0/projects/SCM/repos/bitbucket/

I get the following error:

This repository URL is already taken by 'bitbucket' in 'Systemuser Bitbucket'"
