        "description": "Description"
    }
}
or that
{
   "update": {
   "description": [
         {
            "set": "JIRA should also come with a free pony"
         }
      ]
   }
}

HTTP 405 means "Method not allowed"

Performing an update should be done using a "PUT" method, which one are you using? Perhaps POST?
