Using a batch file and wget/curl, how can I download the Multiverse-Core-.jar from here? http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/artifact/target/

I want to use the timestamping option and the "All files in zip" link doesn't work since the "last-modified" header doesn't exist for it. If I use http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/artifact/target/Multiverse-Core-2.5.jar, then the timestamping option works, but I want to be able to use the first link and not have to change it every time the version number changes. I've tried

wget -r -l 1 -nH -A jar -R *javadoc.jar,*sources.jar http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/artifact/target/

But it just creates "job\Multiverse-Core\lastStableBuild\artifact\target" in the current directory without the files. Is there something wrong with my script?

wget respects the robots.txt file for recursive downloads. And that file prohibits everything (for no good reason AFAICT, as Build Now requires to be POSTed in Jenkins, at least in recent versions).

Jenkins has an API. Several objects, including builds, have API endpoints. In this case, http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/api/.

You could query http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/api/xml or http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/api/json and parse the returned text for the artifacts element. The tree argument allows filtering, like e.g. in http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/api/xml?tree=artifacts%5BrelativePath%5D:

<freeStyleBuild>
<artifact>
<relativePath>target/Multiverse-Core-2.5-javadoc.jar</relativePath>
</artifact>
<artifact>
<relativePath>target/Multiverse-Core-2.5-sources.jar</relativePath>
</artifact>
<artifact>
<relativePath>target/Multiverse-Core-2.5.jar</relativePath>
</artifact>
</freeStyleBuild>

Alternatively, use XPath for more powerful filtering, but note that in a recent security update, some functionality (like text()) was disabled. Example: http://ci.onarandombox.com/job/Multiverse-Core/lastStableBuild/api/xml?xpath=/freeStyleBuild/artifact/relativePath&wrapper=artifacts

From the command line, you can parse the XML e.g. using a recent version of xmllint, or, in the Xpath example, just ignore the text and select the file names.
