I think this may be a bug in Jenkins  not in your Python implementation
(or perhaps a feature - I've not yet found any documentation as to
whether POST requests are supposed to work?)

If I try submitting a job using wget:

wget --auth-no-challenge --http-user=[user] --http-password=[password]
--no-check-certificate https://tom-
jdvm.redembedded.com/jenkins/job/poetry_writer/buildWithParameters?[params]

it works, but if I add

--post-data=""

which has the effect of making the request a POST not a GET, I get 403
forbidden.

I'll investigate this further and maybe raise a Jenkins bug.


Sorry for bugging you...

Title:
  With authorization, build job doesn't work using POST request

Status in Python API for Jenkins:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've just stumbled into this project and am trying to use your latest
  version from source control along with Jenkins version 1.420 (the
  Ubuntu package version).

  Using authorization, I get a 403 response to the request in build_job:

          return
  self.jenkins_open(urllib2.Request(self.build_job_url(name, parameters,
  token), ''))

  If I remove the empty data string (which I understand means the
  request is GET rather than POST), everything works fine.

          return
  self.jenkins_open(urllib2.Request(self.build_job_url(name, parameters,
  token)))

  
  Not really sure if the cause for this is a bug in Jenkins or a problem with your script?
