I'd like to upload a file using powershell and capture the resulting response body. How can one do this?
I've tried:
$env:DEPLOY_URL = & curl.exe https://make.mudlet.org/snapshots/Mudlet-$env:VERSION$env:MUDLET_VERSION_BUILD-windows.zip --upload-file Mudlet-$env:VERSION$env:MUDLET_VERSION_BUILD-windows.zip 2>&1
But that does not work and says Command executed with exception: without listing the exception.
Explore using the Invoke-RestMethod command. You can save the response body using the -OutFile parameter.
An example PUT would be as follows where $uri is the destination, $inFile is the path to the local file, and $outFile is the path to where to save the response body:
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method PUT -InFile $inFile -OutFile $outFile

I have a file which I download using the REST API.
Just to emphasize that I tried with both commands: Invoke-RestMethod and Invoke-WebRequest
$uri = "https://bitbucket.org.dev/projects/TEST/repos/fa/browse/Packages/ATS.txt"
$API_KEY="ZTU2MT"
Invoke-WebRequest -Headers #{Authorization=$("Basic {0}" -f $API_KEY)} -Uri $uri -OutFile ATS.txt
If I access that URI in browser file or download it manually file can be viewd without any issue in clear way.
This is the content of the file (its begining)
#
# exported extension module.
# source ""
# timestamp (utc) "2020-03-30 12:06:23.3"
# ***** DO NOT EDIT! *****
But download file looks completely different (like it is in HTML format)
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head><meta charset="utf-8"><meta http-equiv="X-..."
Also I have some zip file which needs to be downloaded as well, but with it also I am getting invalid file which cannot be extracted (opened)
As written in MSDN, Invoke-WebRequest returns an object of type BasicHtmlWebResponseObject.
You need to select the Content property to get the text you are looking for.
Invoke-WebRequest -Headers #{Authorization=$("Basic {0}" -f $API_KEY)} -Uri $uri | Select-Object -Expand Content | Out-File -FilePath c:\somefile.txt
Update:

I am using invoke-restmethod GET in Powershell which produces a PDF file as a response.
I can see that file as an encoded format in the PowerShell window.
I need to create a PDF file from the response.
How to achieve?
Use the -OutFile parameter:
Invoke-RestMethod $uri -Method Get -OutFile output.pdf
I am trying to download package from the below link using powershell.
https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-agents
i do not have direct link for these package also when i click on download it ask to agree. I was able to do it on Linux using command shown below. Kindly advise how can i do it in windows.
"wget --no-check-certificate --post-data='accept="I accept the terms of this license"&x=""&sid=5mcia8gchg28attkc9oarah153&p=NessusAgent-7.4.2-amzn.x86_64.rpm' 'https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-agents' -O NessusAgent-7.4.2-amzn.x86_64.rpm"
could not find anything tried option with invoke-webrequest
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-agents'
There's a GET query string parameter that indicates acceptance.
Simply add i_agree_to_tenable_license_agreement=true to your query string parameters.
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://www.tenable.com/downloads/api/v1/public/pages/nessus-agents/downloads/9762/download?i_agree_to_tenable_license_agreement=true' -OutFile 'NessusAgent-7.4.2-x64.msi'
You can easily get the IDs of the other files from their API endpoint like so:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://www.tenable.com/downloads/api/v1/public/pages/nessus-agents' | ConvertFrom-Json).downloads | Format-Table -AutoSize
This is similar syntax in Powershell, but it's just downloading a file with contents "OK".
$body = 'accept="I accept the terms of this license"&x=""&sid=5mcia8gchg28attkc9oarah153&p=NessusAgent-7.4.2-amzn.x86_64.rpm'
$uri = 'https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-agents'
$resp = Invoke-WebRequest -Method Post -Body $body -Uri $uri -OutFile .\NessusAgent-7.4.2-amzn.x86_64.rpm
Maybe the "sid" variable needs to change per request.
I am trying to download file from the web using following command
Invoke-WebRequest $url -OutFile $filePath -Headers $Headers
I have argument, which contains this url and it is passed as parameter
[string]$artifactHttpAddress = $args[2]
Currently its value is
http://10.45.48.26/httpAuth/repository/downloadAll/TeamCityTest_Build/529:id/artifacts.zip
So, when I try to invoke WebRequest with following command
Invoke-WebRequest $artifactHttpAddress -OutFile c:/test.zip -Headers $Headers
it is downloading empty zip file .
but when I try to assign this url to the variable and invoke web request
$url = "http://10.45.48.26/httpAuth/repository/downloadAll/TeamCityTest_Build/529:id/artifacts.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest $url -OutFile c:/test.zip -Headers $Headers
It is working correctly, downloads zip file, which have some content in it.
I tried following script
Write-Host([string]$url -eq [string]$artifactHttpAddress)
Write-Host([string]$url)
Write-Host([string]$artifactHttpAddress)
It outputs
False
http://10.45.48.26/httpAuth/repository/downloadAll/TeamCityTest_Build/528:id/artifacts.zip
http://10.45.48.26/httpAuth/repository/downloadAll/TeamCityTest_Build/531:id/artifacts.zip
What is happening and why?
p.s. this script is inside ScriptBlock
It looks to me, based on your output, that $url and $artifactHttpAddress are not the same value. Does the ZIP file exist at the URL with 531 in it?
How can I use Invoke-WebRequest to download a file but automatically make the file name the same as if I downloaded via browser? I haven't found a way to make -OutFile work without manually specifying the file name. I'm fine with this involving a few other lines of code.
A good solution will:
Work even if the file name isn't in the request URL. For example, the URL to download the Visual Studio x64 Remote Debugging Tools is http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=393217 but it downloads the file rtools_setup_x64.exe.
Not save the whole file to memory before writing to disk, unless that's what Invoke-WebRequest already does even with the -OutFile parameter (?)
Thanks!
For the example given you're going to need to get the redirected URL, which includes the file name to be downloaded. You can use the following function to do so:
Function Get-RedirectedUrl {
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[String]$URL
)
$request = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create($url)
$request.AllowAutoRedirect=$false
$response=$request.GetResponse()
If ($response.StatusCode -eq "Found")
{
$response.GetResponseHeader("Location")
}
}
Then it's a matter of parsing the file name from the end of the responding URL (GetFileName from System.IO.Path will do that):
$FileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName((Get-RedirectedUrl "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=393217"))
That will leave $FileName = rtools_setup_x64.exe and you should be able to download your file from there.
Try this method (may not always work because the file name may not be in the response header)
call Invoke-WebRequest to get the result. then you can inspect the result to look at what is in the headers.
get the file name from the response header (this could be in Headers.Location, or some other place. When I run my query for a url that i was troubleshooting, I found it in the Headers["Content-Disposition"] and it looks like inline; filename="zzzz.docx"
Create a new file based on the name and write the content to this file
Here is code sampe:
$result = Invoke-WebRequest -Method GET -Uri $url -Headers $headers
$contentDisposition = $result.Headers.'Content-Disposition'
$fileName = $contentDisposition.Split("=")[1].Replace("`"","")
$path = Join-Path $yourfoldername $fileName
$file = [System.IO.FileStream]::new($path, [System.IO.FileMode]::Create)
$file.write($result.Content, 0, $result.RawContentLength)
$file.close()
Thanks to Ryan I have a semi-usable function:
Function Get-Url {
param ( [parameter(position=0)]$uri )
invoke-webrequest -uri "$uri" -outfile $(split-path -path "$uri" -leaf)
}
A graphic file and xml file I have been able to download. When I try to download this webpage and open it with Edge it will work at times.
Essence of my code - this works.. using PS 5.1
I have commented out the normal -Outfile statement because that would imply I knew the filename in advance.
I have put this together based upon a number of sources, there are lots of ways of parsing the Content-Disposition headers so use whatever works for you.
$outpath = "C:\\temp\\"
The call:
$result = Invoke-WebRequest -method GET -Uri $resourceUrl -Headers
$resourceHeaders -Verbose #-OutFile $($outPath+"$nodeId.pdf")
parsing
$outFilename = $outpath+$result.Headers.'Content-Disposition'.Split("=")[1].Split('\\""')[1] #shaky parsing - might require improvement in time
Writing the file (this is mostly pdf's for me
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($outFilename, $result.content)
powershell.exe Invoke-WebRequest -Uri serverIP/file.exe -OutFile C:\Users\file.exe
