Hi @Dario B , the same issue I am facing. We are using Jira server, for that if I am trying to create issue it is returning a response code 201 and giving garbled code. I am not facing this issue when I am using Jira Cloud. Here is my code.

Client client = Client.create();
OAuthClientFilter filter = new OAuthClientFilter(client.getProviders(), oAuthParameters, oAuthSecrets);
client.addFilter(filter);
URI issueuri = new URI("<MY DOMAIN URL HERE>/rest/api/2/issue");
WebResource webResource = client.resource(issueuri);
String issueInput=getIssueInput(); //Here I am creating a json to a string

ClientResponse response = webResource.type("application/json").post(ClientResponse.class, issueInput.getBytes());
System.out.println("
Response Status Code = "+response.getStatus());
System.out.println("response.toString() : "+response.toString());

output = response.getEntity(String.class);

So, It is giving a response like

���� ��� ����]�<�������

Can I get any suggestion on this, exactly why it is creating this problem

Hello @Manoj Chaudhary ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Status Code 201 means "Created". This means the request was successful and the webhook has been created and this is consistent with what you have already observed.

As for the garbled text, this can depend on many different factors (different language or character encoding, etc.).

Therefore, in order to proceed, can you kindly provide more details on how are you sending the REST API requests to create Webhooks?

Cheers,
Dario
