Add Weblink To JIRA Using Rest API

[ger.dempsey]

I'm trying to add a weblink to a JIRA using the rest API. 

Here is the curl I'm sending (modifying  username, password and endpoint)

curl -k -v -D- -u my.name:MyPassWord -X POST -d '{"object": {"url":"http://www.mycompany.com/support?id=1","title":"Crazy customer support issue"}}' https://jira2-test.myserver.com/rest/api/2/issue/IMS-5181/remotelink

And here is the response I get

* About to connect() to jira2-test.myserver.com port 443 (#0)
* Trying XXXXXXXX..

When I check the ticket, the link is not added, I don't see any obvious error in the response. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

You are sending the web request with the following encoding

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

 And you response code is 415 (Unsupported Media Type). Perhaps try specifying "application/json" and try again.
