Description
Summary
Invoking username api parameter as suggested in documentation results in a 404 null uri error, even when users exist.
Environment
- Confluence 5.9.9
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable REST API
- Query for username, ex: http://localhost:1990/confluence/rest/api/user?username=admin
Expected Results
API returns user information
Actual Results
The below error is thrown in the http response:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Cache-Control: no-transform X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Vary: Accept Content-Type: application/xml Content-Length: 194 Date: Mon, 02 May 2016 22:53:22 GMT <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><status><status-code>404</status-code><message>null for uri: http://localhost:1990/confluence/rest/api/user?username=admin</message></status>
Notes
Tested using curl:
$ curl -i http://localhost:1990/confluence/rest/api/user?username=admin HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Cache-Control: no-transform X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Vary: Accept Content-Type: application/xml Content-Length: 196 Date: Mon, 02 May 2016 23:00:36 GMT <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><status><status-code>404</status-code><message>null for uri: http://localhost:1990/confluence/rest/api/user?username=admin</message></status>
The documentation says that this URL format is correct:
http://example.com/rest/api/user?username=jblogs http://example.com/rest/api/user?key=402880824ff933a4014ff9345d7c0002
