Maybe you can give a bit more context on this ? Otherwise it’ll be hard to help you.

Which CI tool are you using ? Which scanner ? When does this error happen ?

Thanks.

Which version of SonarQube are you using ? Do you downloaded it from the SonarQube website or elsewhere ?

@mickaelcaro
I have downloaded through jenkins plugin…
SonarQube Version - 7.9.1.27448

Do you have redacted this part ?

Failed to request and parse ‘/sonar/api/server/version’

Normal api call should look like this : http://sonarqube.instance/api/server/version , otherwise it will fail to get the version number.

i am able to see the version number

@mickaelcaro - ya due to security i have redacted the url

Are you able to issue the call to a tool like fiddler to see if there’s any hidden character in the response, corresponding to some kind of HTTPS encoding ?

I did test on my side, the only way it can fail is if there is any word-character in any component of the version.

Let me try with fiddler @mickaelcaro

@mickaelcaro : I don’t see any issue in header. I used fiddler , even the protocol is not a issue
