Issue calling REST Endpoint from ScriptRunner Using HTTPBuilder

[Terry Robison]

I am calling a REST Endpoint utilizing HTTPBuilder. I thought I had a pretty solid example from this post.

I can successfully call the REST Endpoint from Postman with Basic authentication.

However, I am getting a couple of errors in the script console. 

The request object should be resolved from the http object is my understanding, but no addHeaders() method appears in the code completion.

CODE

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.*

import groovyx.net.http.ContentType

import static groovyx.net.http.Method.*




def http = new HTTPBuilder('https://<host>/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/getLicenseStat')

http.headers = [Accept: 'application/json', charset: 'UTF-8']

def authString = "<acct>:<pass>".getBytes().encodeBase64().toString();




http.request(POST, ContentType.JSON) {

    requestContentType = ContentType.JSON

    request.addHeader("authorization: Basic ${authString}", "ContentType: application/json")

    body =  [user: '<username>']




    response.success = { resp, JSON ->

        return JSON

    }

}
