"You must use POST method to trigger builds" warning message pops up preventing remote triggering of builds with parameters using wget URL http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?PARAMETER=Value

      When trying to trigger builds remotely using the URL http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?PARAMETER=Value, the following message comes up.

      You must use POST method to trigger builds. (From scripts you may instead pass a per-project authentication token, or authenticate with your API token.) If you see this page, it may be because a plugin offered a GET link; file a bug report for that plugin.
      

      There is a "Proceed" button which needs to be clicked on manually which causes (post-commit) remote triggering of builds via wget to fail.

      This problem did not exist in 1.501, onlty started to notice this issue in versions 1.503 and 1.505.

          As the message says, you must now use POST requests for things like this. Consult the documentation for wget or whatever you use. Pull requests with more emphatic/clearer messages welcome.

          I guess the page https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Build needs to be updated since the following recommended method no longer works.

          • A build can be started just by accessing
            http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?PARAMETER=Value
            

          I manged to work around the issue by using build trigger authentication tokens as the warning message suggests.

          What about when clicking on the "Build Now" link and this occurs? Is that a core issue, a plugin issue, or maybe a configuration issue?

          That would be a separate bug report, assuming you could reproduce from scratch in a current version of Jenkins and provide details.

          I had the same issue as kt and found the reason: Firefox No Script Plugin deactivated Javascript and Jenkins UI without Javascript ran into the issue with Build Now. So maybe a Javascript blocked error message would help.
