HTTPS Upload Plugin

Uploads file(s) to a remote server using HTTP or HTTPS. Files are uploaded using multipart/form-data encoding (RFC2388). This is what almost all sites that accepts file upload uses.

The plugin is not meant for uploading artifacts to Maven Repositories. Maven does that brilliantly by itself. The plugin is meant for uploading any file (not just project's artifacts) to any type of endpoint that accepts a HTTP/HTTPS file upload.

The plugin is based on the HTTPS Upload Library.

Features

  • Upload into any server that accepts multipart/form-data encoded file uploads.
  • Supports both HTTP or HTTPS
  • Support for servers that require authentication (only auth mode Basic is supported)
  • Upload multiple files in one operation (if the endpoint supports it)
  • Support for sending additional fields with the files
  • Certificate verification can be turned off (relevant for HTTPS only)
  • Upload very large files without exhausting JVM memory
  • Uses reasonable timeouts which means it may fail but it never hangs
