HTTP 404 when wget Jenkins Artefacts

12:52:00 AM 2 comments


I was trying to wget one of Jenkins Artifacts, but was continuously getting a 404 error.


HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2017-05-19 13:12:13 ERROR 404: Not Found.

My request was as follows.


wget https://wso2.org/jenkins/job/ballerinalang/job/tools-distribution/257/org.ballerinalang.tools$ballerina-tools/artifact/org.ballerinalang.tools/ballerina-tools/0.87-SNAPSHOT/ballerina-tools-0.87-SNAPSHOT.zip

So my issue was, My URL had some special charactors. (tools$ballerina-tools) A $ character. So Bash droped this when fetching the artefact, So Jenkins was unable to find the actual resource. To solve this type of issue you can use a scape charater to skip the special character.

\$

Full Request is as Follows.

wget https://wso2.org/jenkins/job/ballerinalang/job/tools-distribution/257/org.ballerinalang.tools\$ballerina-tools/artifact/org.ballerinalang.tools/ballerina-tools/0.87-SNAPSHOT/ballerina-tools-0.87-SNAPSHOT.zip


This is one of million ways to get an 404 error, Just mentioning to help someone to save couple of hours. :)

      It's possible you might be having special characters in your URL which will be encoded by the browser and sent.
