In Jenkins(jenkins_url, auth=(user,token)), jenkins_url changes port to 80

[exsell-jc]

At first, the Jenkins API makes the connection well. However, when it gets to post, it changes.

Is it possible to make the Jenkins API just strictly follow the input parameter http://1.2.3.4:8080/jenkins instead?

In the last line (and the line before): 2022-11-01 16:35:10,693 DEBUG [ connectionpool | _new_conn ] Starting new HTTP connection (1): docker.mywebsite.com:80
You can see, instead of the IP address + 8080 port number, it changes.

I also tried with Jenkins(jenkins_url, auth=(user, token), allow_redirects=False, verify=False) but doubting I did it right and/or if it did anything. I got the kwargs from here which redirected me to here.

I saw this previous GitHub issue, but unsure how to understand the conversation at the end -- a bit vague.

The API obeys the port number set in Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Jenkins URL, but not the subdirectory.
It seems that api4jenkins doesn't have a way to POST to a subdirectory.

[joelee2012]

@exsell-jc where do you run the Jenkins, and what's the value of Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Jenkins URL ?
if your jenkins run with subpath, add the subpath in to url as well, see doc of this property

Optionally specify the HTTP address of the Jenkins installation, such as http://yourhost.yourdomain/jenkins/ . This value is used to let Jenkins know how to refer to itself, ie. to display images or to create links in emails.

the issue #9 was because he started Jenkins in vm with port 8080 map 9090 of host, so if post request from vm, the Jenkins URL should be localhost:8080, if post from host it should be localhost:9090
