If you are using wget 1.11 against Jenkins version 1.586 and above with the JENKINS-25169 fix, you might need to use the following options:<\/strong>
wget –auth-no-challenge –http-user=user –http-password=apiToken –secure-protocol=TLSv1 http:\/\/jenkins.yourcompany.com\/job\/your_job\/build?token=TOKEN<\/p>\n
If you are using wget 1.11, you might need to use the following options:<\/strong>
wget –auth-no-challenge –http-user=user –http-password=apiToken http:\/\/jenkins.yourcompany.com\/job\/your_job\/build?token=TOKEN<\/p>\n
With wget 1.10.x the following is enough (but will not work with 1.11.x) :<\/strong>
wget http:\/\/user:apiToken@jenkins.yourcompany.com\/job\/your_job\/build?token=TOKEN<\/p>\n
