I have a external monitor job that I'm pushing the result of another job to it with curl and base on this link :
After I create the job I just need to run a curl command with the body encoded in HEX to the specified url and then a build will be created and the output will be added to it but what I get instead is part of my output in clear text and the rest in weird characters like so :

This is how I'm doing it :
export output=`cat msg.out|xxd -c 256 -ps`
curl -k -X POST -d "<run><log encoding=\"hexBinary\">$output</log><result>0</result> <duration>2000</duration></run>" https://$jenkinsuser:[email protected]/jenkins/job/akamai_purge_results/postBuildResult -H'.crumb:c775f3aa15464563456346e'
If I cat that file is all fine and even if I edit it with vi I can't see any problem with it.
Do you guys have any idea how to fix this ?
Could it be a problem with the hex encoding ? ( I tried hex/enc/dec pages with the result of xxd and they look fine)
Thanks.
I had the same issue, and stumbled across this: http://blog.markfeeney.com/2010/01/hexbinary-encoding.html
From that page, you can get the encoding you need via this command:
echo "Hello world" | hexdump -v -e '1/1 "%02x"' 48656c6c6f20776f726c640aAn excerpt from the explanation:
So in your case, you would do this (removing 'export' in favor of inline variable)
OUTPUT=`cat msg.out | hexdump -v -e '1/1 "%02x"'` curl -k -X POST -d "<run><log encoding=\"hexBinary\">$OUTPUT</log><result>0</result> <duration>2000</duration></run>" https://$jenkinsuser:[email protected]/jenkins/job/akamai_purge_results/postBuildResult -H'.crumb:c775f3aa15464563456346e'
