      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

      1. Enable REST API
      2. 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
