After piecing together many suggestions with some trial and error, I was
finally able to get the Jenkins job to run remotely with the VBScript (ASP)
code below (with variables set to proper values such as strCrumb). The
returned Status will be 201 for success. The Base64 functions were taken
from
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/496751/base64-encode-string-in-vbscript
Dim strJenkinsURL, strParam1, strParam2, strCrumb, strUsername,
strPassword
strJenkinsURL =
"https://<jenkinsURL>/job/testjob/buildWithParameters?token=test¶m1="&
strParam1 &"¶m2="& strParam2
Set HttpReq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
HttpReq.Open "POST", strJenkinsURL, False
HttpReq.setOption 2, 13056
HttpReq.setRequestHeader "Jenkins-Crumb", strCrumb
HttpReq.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "Basic "&
Base64Encode(strUsername &":"& strPassword)
HttpReq.Send
Response.Write "<br>Status: "& HttpReq.Status & vbNewline
Response.Write "<br>Response: "& HttpReq.responseText & vbNewline
Function Base64Encode(sText)
Dim oXML, oNode
Set oXML = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0")
Set oNode = oXML.CreateElement("base64")
oNode.dataType = "bin.base64"
oNode.nodeTypedValue = Stream_StringToBinary(sText)
Base64Encode = oNode.text
Set oNode = Nothing
Set oXML = Nothing
End Function
Private Function Stream_StringToBinary(Text)
Const adTypeText = 2
Const adTypeBinary = 1
Dim BinaryStream 'As New Stream
Set BinaryStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
BinaryStream.Type = adTypeText
BinaryStream.CharSet = "us-ascii"
BinaryStream.Open
BinaryStream.WriteText Text
BinaryStream.Position = 0
BinaryStream.Type = adTypeBinary
BinaryStream.Position = 0
Stream_StringToBinary = BinaryStream.Read
Set BinaryStream = Nothing
End Function
