SAS 9.1 HTTP PROC Basic Authuentication Failing

[bharathirajact]

Hi Team -
Am trying to get the data from JIRA REST API using HTTP PROC.

SAS CODE:
    proc http
    method="GET"
    url="http://servername:8080/rest/api/2/search?%str(&)fields=project,status%str(&)jql=project=C12395"
    webusername="username"
    webpassword="password"
    ct="application/JSON"
    out=resp;
    run;

Am getting error/response code as 400.

    NOTE: Call to [http://servername:8080/rest/api/2/search?&fields=project,
          status&jql=project=C12395] returned [400]
    NOTE: Procedure http step took :
          real time : 0.628

          cpu time  : 0.031

Am really not sure what am missing. Same JIRA REST API URL working in JAVA.


Thanks!

Long shot, but try removing the %str() functions just in case quoting creates an issue

Please advice why am not able to make a call from WPS, same url working fine in browser.

Thanks!

Mmm the warnings are expected so don't worry about them. But the error 400 means malformed address. So something is not quite right somewhere

If you're using WPS you should really ask them rather than use a SAS forum given the history between the two companies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS_Institute_Inc_v_World_Programming_Ltd
