POST /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/remotelink bug

Hello,

This is for JIRA version 8.5.0. There appears to be a bug with the REST remotelink endpoint.

I am posting the following JSON body to try to create a new remote link:

{

“object”: {

"url": "http://examplehost.com/abc/abc-2921/DxDiag_vb19041--[Code43]REPRO.txt",

"title": "DxDiag_vb19041--[Code43]REPRO.txt (12122019145855)"

}

}

And the response is: 400 Bad Request
{

"errorMessages": [],

"errors": {

    "url": "Invalid 'URL'. Make sure you include the full URL (e.g. http://www.google.com)."

}

}

That URL is a working valid URL. I think the URL validation logic is incorrect, it seems to be too stringent.

If I remove “–[Code43]” from the URL, the POST remotelink will work successfully.

However, the entire URL “http://examplehost.com/abc/abc-2921/DxDiag_vb19041--[Code43]REPRO.txt” is a working URL – why is it considered invalid?

Thanks,
victor

Left Square Bracket and Right Square Bracket SHOULD be URL Encoded as %5B and %5D respectively.

Okay thanks @sfbehnke, I will add URL encoding to the logic.

Best regards,
