Is it possible to force a TeamCity build to rebuild dependencies when triggered over HTTP?

Question

Based on the TeamCity documentation I can see that it is possible to trigger a build over http:

http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD7/Accessing+Server+by+HTTP

For example,

http://testuser:testpassword@teamcity.jetbrains.com/httpAuth/action.html?add2Queue=bt10

However, I need to force a build to also rebuild certain dependencies when it is added to the queue. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can force TeamCity to rebuild all dependencies if you add rebuildDependencies=true to query string:

http://testuser:testpassword@teamcity.jetbrains.com/httpAuth/action.html?add2Queue=bt10&rebuildDependencies=true

It is also possible to rebuild dependencies partially, but it is not easy as you'd need to retrieve some internal ids somehow but these ids aren't usually shown anywhere on the page.
