How to export to HTML while authenticating from JIRA Search

[Zlatko Kajan]

Hello,

If I go into Issues>Search for Issues, type in my JQL, then click Export>HTML(Current Fields) it makes a nice html web page.  If I hover over HTML(Current Fields) it gives me the following URL:

<local jira URL>/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+=+<projectname>+AND+fixVersion+=+<version>+ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=1000

When i go on command line and do 

wget <local jira URL>/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+=+<projectname>+AND+fixVersion+=+<version>+ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=1000 > saveJIRA.html 

it returns with a 400 error.  I am guessing this is because I did not include authentication information and our JIRA and the project itself are locked by user groups.

So I tried 

wget <local jira URL>/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?os_username-<myusername>&os_password=<mypassword>&jqlQuery=project+=+<projectname>+AND+fixVersion+=+<version>+ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=1000 > saveJIRA.html 

And that generated two files. saveJIRA.html which is blank, and SearchRequest.html|?os_username=<myusername> which actually looks kind of like the page I was expecting except it says displaying 0 issues and there are no issues listed.

So what am I missing here?

Thank you!

I tried

wget <local jira URL>/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-html-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.html?os_username=<myusername>&os_password=<mypassword>&jqlQuery=project+%3D+<projectname>+AND+fixVersion+%3D+<version>+ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=1000

And it does go through (authenticates)... i think. But results are still blank.  But if I paste it into my browser, I get actual results.

Now that I think about it, could it be that the issue is that from command line it doesn't know what "current search" is and if I did "all fields" it'd be fine?  Or maybe there is a way to specify which fields (since I definitely do not want all of them in this file).
