Registering a bower package on ProGet using the curl command

Guest

A bower registry (https://github.com/bower/registry) ordinarily allows you to POST the name and git URL to create your package, similarly to:

curl http://localhost:81/bower-feeds/my-feed/packages/ -v -F 'name=bower-demo' -F 'url=http://kevin@192.168.10.52/scm/bower-demo.git'

Unfortunately this does not seem to be supported on ProGet or follows a different structure.

Could you kindly guide me how I would be able to create a Bower package through an HTTP Post?

This is required as we would like to automate this process.

Product: ProGet
Version: 3.5.7

You need to use the bower endpoint URL rather than the web UI endpoint url:

curl http://localhost:81/bower/my-feed/packages/ -v -F 'name=bower-demo' -F 'url=http://kevin@192.168.10.52/scm/bower-demo.git'

Note that it's /bower/ instead of /bower-feeds/

I've just verified that this works here, so let me know if this helps!

Hi Dean,

Thank you for your response, however I am getting the following response:

<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="/bower-feeds/my-feed">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>

Hi Dean,

Sorry I continued trying and found out the problem was caused because I had to include the -k flag (for HTTPS) and to include the username and password in the URL.

Problem solved. Thanks.
