Jira Rest API using curl and cmd command

[Bongani Hermans]

Hi,

I am trying to run the curl command to update a summary of an issue but getting errors.

Curl command : curl -D- -u user:password -H "Content-Type:application/json" -k -D '{"update":{"summary":[{"set":"Big Block Chevy"}]}}' {jira-server url}/rest/api/2/issue/RIM-816

getting error :

Warning: Failed to open {"update":{"summary":[{"set":"Big Block Chevy"}]}}
curl: (23) Failed writing received data to disk/application

Kindly please advise on a workaround for this, all my tests run fine in postman but when using curl I get an error.

Regards,

Bongani

Hi @Bongani Hermans ,

problem could be related to -D option

-D/--dump-header <file>

Write the protocol headers to the specified file.

This option is handy to use when you want to store the headers that a HTTP site sends to you. Cookies from the headers could then be read in a second curl invoke by using the -b/--cookie option! The -c/--cookie-jar option is however a better way to store cookies.

When used on FTP, the ftp server response lines are considered being "headers" and thus are saved there.

If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
