Getting an java.lang.IllegalArgumentException with authenticated HTTP Feed Custom Field

[David Grierson]

Trying to use the JSON HTTP Feed custom field to retrieve a list of the components associated with a project.

Doing this by accessing the JIRA REST API http://JIRAROOT/rest/api/2/project/KEY/components using the JSON HTTP Feed.

Access to the project is restricted though so I have configured the authentication credentials for the custom field.

I getting the following error when I attempt to load the form though:

Illegal character(s) in message header value: Basic <REDACTED>=

(where <REDACTED> is the base64 encoded username/password)

In the atlassian-jira.log file the following stack trace appears:

2016-01-13 11:55:44,419 http-bio-8080-exec-167 ERROR dgr02 715x36102x1 1u1yexc 10.99.80.37 /secure/QuickCreateIssue!default.jspa [atlas.plugins.requestedfiedls.JsonHttpRunner] JsonHttpRunner::getData - error renderring

When I use a telnet client and issue an appropriate GET of the JIRA REST API URL (above) using the appropriate authorization it successfully retrieves the JSON with the right format.

This suggests that there's something wrong with the way in which the plugin is handling authenticated JSON GET requests.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
