Unable to attach a file to a Jira task via the API

[David Whitlock]

Hello all,

I am trying to attach a file to a Jira Task using the API, when I execute the following code, I get the 200 response code, but I see that no attachment was added to the task. Any advise would be appreciated:

public boolean addattachment(String issuenbr, String fileuri, String filedescription){
String method = "POST";
String url = "https://" + serverName + "/rest/api/2/issue/" + issuenbr + "/attachments";
logger.debug("URL IS " + url);
boolean attachmentAdded = false;
try{
String boundary = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
connection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
login(sys_username, sys_password);
connection.setRequestMethod(method);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary);
connection.setRequestProperty("X-Atlassian-Token", "no-check");
connection.setRequestProperty("file", fileuri);
DataOutputStream request = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());

request.writeBytes("--" + boundary + "\r\n");
request.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"description\"\r\n\r\n");
request.writeBytes("--" + boundary + "\r\n");
File file = new File(fileuri);
if (filedescription != null)
request.writeBytes(filedescription + "\r\n");
else
request.writeBytes(file.getName() + "\r\n");

request.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"" + fileuri + "\"\r\n\r\n");
request.write(FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file));
request.writeBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "--\r\n");
request.flush();
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();

}catch(Exception e){
InputOutputUtils.logStackTrace(e);
System.out.println("Something wrong");
}
}
