Does anyone know why I get the the error 404-not found when I try to access some data using REST API for JIRA ?

Daniela Mateesc

I have tried to access some data using REST API for Jira like in the turorial from www.developer.atlassian.com.

I have done this from the command line using curl like this:

curl -D- -u daniela.mateescu:master -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8081/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta

I get the Http status 404- Not found /rest/api/2/createmeta resource is not available and I don't know why because:

-I have installed JIRA and I understood that the REST API comes with JIRA

-The username and password ar the ones for the administrator

-I have tried to make some other request like the one for getting the issues for a specified user and I get the same result

Could anybody help me please?

Check your jira base URL. If it is localhost:8080/jira/ (the default URL for out-of-the-box jira), then add /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta to this URL. That should work. But the createmeta API call does not sound familiar though.

Thak you for your answer.

I've realized what the problem was. It was from the version(2) from the ULR. It should have been latest instead of 2. Now it workes fine when making the request using the curl program.

But now, I have other problem . I try to make the request from flex, but I saw that flex strips out the headers of a GET HttpRequest. I saw that this is a common problem for flex developers, but I didn't find any solution for this problem. I have an object like the one below:

Despite the fact I set the header that I want(**1,**2,**3), when consructing the final request, flex doesn't put my headers.

It's request looks like this:

GET /rest/api/latest/search HTTP/1.1

Can anybody with more experience in flex programming, help me with my problem, please?
