Filename issue when using Jira Add Attachment REST API

Geoffrey Hughes
Geoffrey Hughes Sep 05, 2022

We're using the following API to add attachments to Jira.

curl -D- -u {username}:{password} -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -F "file=@{path/to/file}" http://{base-url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issue-key}/attachments

Unfortunately, if the filename contains square brackets, we get the following error.

<html>

<head>

<title>JIRA &mdash; Internal Server Error</title>

<meta name="decorator" content="none" />

</head>

<body>

<h1>JIRA &mdash; Internal Server Error</h1>

<p>Error reference: fc73345c-4f8a-4891-b866-bf7b09df7a54</p>

<p>Unable to render full error details at this time.

 Please consult the error logs for more information.</p>

</body>

</html>

The error log has the following entry.

If we remove the square brackets from the filename, it is added to Jira successfully.

Hello @Geoffrey Hughes 

Since Jira has no problems attaching files with square brackets in their name, then it can be logically deducted that the fault is in your cURL request.

Google 'cURL sanitise filenames' or 'cURL encode filenames' for the answer.

I just used curl as an example.  It's happening in Postman and with our integration platform.

Encoding the square brackets in my request does put the file into Jira but it keeps the encoded values when viewing in Jira.

Looking at how it's handled in a web browser, it's using a combination of 2 APIs. 

  • /rest/internal/2/AttachTemporaryFile
  • /rest/jddap/1.0/attachment

I just noticed you are still using Jira SERVER, not Jira CLOUD.

Uploading files with UTF-8 chars in their name is no problem with Jira Cloud. I just tested with Postman and a file named 'Test [file].txt' and it worked just fine:

There are numerous articles regarding Jira Server and UTF-8 encoding issues with attachments, such as JRASERVER-32824. I think you should review the bugs list and see if a specific one affects your particular version of Jira Server and what you need to do to compensate for it.

I want to be able to submit a file with square brackets to Jira via the /rest/api/2/issue/{issue-key}/attachments rest API.

When I try in Postman, I get the internal server error I originally posted.

What version of Jira did you try against?  We're not using Jira cloud.

Can you send the output of the raw log from the Postman console?

As I said, I tested against Jira Cloud. I don't have access to a Jira Server instance at the moment and I no longer maintain my own instance.

For Jira Cloud I tested against both the v2 and v3 issue attachment endpoints and got the exact same result.

Here is the console log from Postman for a test against the v2 endpoint:

Have fun.

Thanks.  I found my issue.  

Whomever setup the Postman collection added another Content-Type header without the boundary part of it.

Removing the second duplicate header and the Postman request has worked.
