REST API Request Problem

Hello,

I have some REST API request problems. If I send a POST request for login, I get the response <200 OK,<login>ok</login>. All is fine. But if I send a GET request to https://myYouTrackServer/rest/issue/issue-ID then I get the following exception:

org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate handleResponseError
WARNUNG: GET request "https://myYouTrackServer/rest/issue/issue-ID" resulted in 401 (Unauthorized); invoking error handler

With http://localhost:port/rest/issue/issue-ID I get the same exception.

My workaround for this problem is to change the response-cookie:

Original Cookie-String: [YTJSESSIONID=w9p8jn37btl2fpig94pm63eb;Path=/, jetbrains.charisma.main.security.PRINCIPAL=ZDhhYjU3ZWEwYmJhOTA4NWNkOTlhZWJmMGY1YzhjN2NkMWE1MzI5YTVhYmM0MWE3M2E5MDllNmMxNWEwNjZmZDpyb290;Path=/;Expires=Wed, 18-Nov-2015 08:56:46 GMT]

Modified Cookie-String: YTJSESSIONID=w9p8jn37btl2fpig94pm63eb;Path=/, jetbrains.charisma.main.security.PRINCIPAL=ZDhhYjU3ZWEwYmJhOTA4NWNkOTlhZWJmMGY1YzhjN2NkMWE1MzI5YTVhYmM0MWE3M2E5MDllNmMxNWEwNjZmZDpyb290;Path=/;Expires=Wed, 18-Nov-2015 08:56:46 GMT

without the sign "[" at the beginnig "]" and the end.
With this change I get the excepted response.

Possibly the same problem here:

Hello Ralf,
Could you please tell how you could login successfully using REST API. Every time I get a bad request 400.

Here is my code. I hope you can help on this:
$.ajax({
        url: "my.website.com:8080/rest/user/login",
        dataType: "json",
        type: "POST",
        data: {
          login: 'root',
          password: 'root'
        }
      });

Assuming I've youtrack deployed on port 8080 on my.website.com

Also, I was able to post issues if and only if I'm logged in the same browser to my YouTrack account.

Your help is appreciated.

I could finally set the application to send an issue from YouTrack. I thought about putting my code here. It maybe helpful:

function createIssue(output, status, xhr) {

    $.ajax({
      url:"http://my.website.com:8080/rest/issue",
      dataType:"json",
      type:"PUT",

      data:{
        project:"XYZ",
        summary:$("#summary").val(),
        description:$("#description").val()
      },
      xhrFields: {
        withCredentials: true
      }
    }).done(function (data) {
      $("#result").show();
      $("#summary").val();
      $("#description").val();
    });
  };

  function doLogin(){
      $.ajax({
          url: "http://my.website.com:8080/rest/user/login",
          datatype: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
          type: "POST",
          data: {login:'username@domain.com',
            password:'password'},
          success: createIssue,
          xhrFields: {
            withCredentials: true
          }
        }
      );
    };

All you need to do, is to change the website, project and credentials to match yours. Then call doLogin() function on form submit.

I hope it is helpful for anyone searching how to use YouTrack API to send an issue.
