Webhooks issue with -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts

[Hubert Kut]

Hi Community!

With some of you, I want to share my recent investigation about webhooks in Jira, which took me some time in debugging and finding solution. If any of you will encounter similar issues here is ready to go solution. We are at 7.6.6 Jira and want to use noProxy for some of the domains using Java parameter -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts

1. Check if Java parameter is set up like that. "System info"
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts='localhost|*.xxx|.yyy'.

2. Enabling debugging for webhooks. Go to Logging and profiling and add "com.atlassian.webhooks" 

3. Check if you have proper .jar package. It's well known bug in Jira before 7.8.
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-43143

So check if you have proper version in Manage apps -> system
atlassian-httpclient-plugin-1.0.1.jar If not upgrade Instance or package BUT Test it before doing so ;) 

It should fix noProxy issue.

Cheers,
Hubert
