Unable to bring back list of projects

[sean o'brien]

I'm playing around with the JIRA REST API and I'm having some problems connecting to my JIRA and bringing back the 2 sample projects I have set up.

Below is the complete code from my class 'JIRAManager.cs' which is trying to use to the REST API to connect to my JIRA site.

public enum JiraResource
{
    project
}
public class JIRAManager
{
    private const string baseUrl = "http://samplejira1.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/"; 
    private string _userName;
    private string _password;

    public JIRAManager(string userName, string password)
    {
        _userName = userName;
        _password = password;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Runs a query towards the JIRA REST api
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="resource">The kind of resource to ask for</param>
    /// <param name="argument">Any argument that needs to be passed, such as a project key</param>
    /// <param name="data">More advanced data sent in POST requests</param>
    /// <param name="method">Either GET or POST</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public string RunQuery(JiraResource resource, string argument = null, string data = null, string method = "GET")
    {

        string url = string.Format("{0}{1}/", baseUrl, resource.ToString());

        if (argument != null)
        {
            url = string.Format("{0}{1}/", url, argument);
        }

        HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
        request.ContentType = "application/json";
        request.Method = method;

        if (data != null)
        {
            using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
            {
                writer.Write(data);
            }
        }

        string base64Credentials = GetEncodedCredentials();
        request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Credentials);

        HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

        string result = string.Empty;
        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            result = reader.ReadToEnd();
        }

        return result;

    }

    public List<ProjectDescription> GetProjects()
    {
        List<ProjectDescription> projects = new List<ProjectDescription>();
        string projectsString = RunQuery(JiraResource.project);

        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<ProjectDescription>>(projectsString);
    }

    private string GetEncodedCredentials()
    {
        string mergedCredentials = string.Format("{0}:{1}", _userName, _password);
        byte[] byteCredentials = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mergedCredentials);
        return Convert.ToBase64String(byteCredentials);

    }
}

This is done in a console application so my 'Program.cs' uses the above like so:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
     Console.WriteLine("Hello and welcome to a Jira Example application!");

      #region Create manager
      Console.Write("Username: ");
      string username = Console.ReadLine();

      Console.Write("Password: ");
      string password = Console.ReadLine();

      JIRAManager manager = new JIRAManager(username, password);
      #endregion

      Console.Clear();

      List<ProjectDescription> projects = manager.GetProjects();
      Console.WriteLine("Select a project: ");
      for (int i = 0; i < projects.Count; i++)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", i, projects[i].Name);
      }

      Console.Write("Project to open: ");
      string projectStringIndex = Console.ReadLine();
      int projectIndex = 0;
      if (!int.TryParse(projectStringIndex, out projectIndex))
      {
          Console.WriteLine("You failed to select a project...");
          Environment.Exit(0);
      }

      ProjectDescription selectedProject = projects[projectIndex];
      Console.WriteLine("You selected {0}", selectedProject.Name);

      Console.Read();

}

However, when I run this and enter my username and password, I merely get a blank response when I'm expecting a list of my projects. What is it I am missing that is stopping this from working as intended?

Hi Sean

Where you set the baseUrl, you've used http:// instead of https://

Adding the s in should start returning results
