Sending attachment to JIRA From Salesforce Issue

Question

I am trying to upload to JIRA from SF. I am using below code.

   HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
   HttpResponse res = new HttpResponse();
   Http http = new Http();
   Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(username+':'+password);
   String authorizationHeader = 'Basic ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);
   req.setHeader('Content-Type','multipart/form-data; boundary=--aRandomString_with_signs_or_9879497q8w7r8number--');
   req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);
   req.setHeader('X-Atlassian-Token','nocheck');


   String endpoint = 'http://jira.cimm2.com/rest/api/2/issue/TP-140/attachments';
   req.setMethod('POST');
   string message1= '--aRandomString_with_signs_or_9879497q8w7r8number\n';
   message1+= 'MIME-Version: 1.0\n';
   message1+= 'MIME-Type: text/plain';
   message1+= 'Content-Disposition:attachment;name="file"; filename="cust-serv.pdf"; \n';
   message1+= 'Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=UTF-8';

   message1+= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n';
   message1+= 'Content-Length: 1200\n';
   message1+= '\n';
   message1+= +'Hello How Are You';
   message1+= '\n\n';
   message1+= '--aRandomString_with_signs_or_9879497q8w7r8number--\n';

   req.setbody(EncodingUtil.urlEncode(EncodingUtil.base64Encode(blob.valueOf(message1)),'UTF-8'));
   req.setEndpoint(endpoint);
   res = http.send(req);

I am able to get status code as 200, but when i see in JIRA no attachments are there.

Can any one help me where i am doing wrong

Answer 1

I've had this issue before - we ended up setting up an email box proxy and just having Salesforce send the files as attachments with the issues to that e-mail and having Jira watch the inbox - this I believe... was related to not getting SFDC to properly make the form post to JIRA to create the issue's attachments

Answer 2

JIRA Attachment POST requires a multi-part post....The HTTPRequest in salesforce does not eaisly support this. However this post has some information on doing this. I am not 100% (as I have not tried it) sure if the implementation of this will get you what you need but it is a start.

Post multipart without Base64 Encoding the body

And a blog discussing this:

You probably need to append the file name to the end point url. Like: req.setEndpoint('http://jira.cimm2.com/rest/api/2/issue/TP-140/attachments'+fileName+'.bin');
