Is JIRA server blocking file:// protocol?

Question

Currently, I'm developing an application made with Electron and Angular. Basically, with Electron, the application is under file:// protocol.

Now, I asked this question because when I tried to submit worklog using JIRA REST API. It gives me an error "Expected authority at index 7: file://". Other APIs with GET method work fine though.

Based on observation, GET method doesn't have Origin on the request header while, POST method has it. Origin is "file://"

With this, I suspected that JIRA is blocking file:// protocol.

Is there anything I can do to make this work? I should be able to submit worklog.

It's not "blocking" anything.  Your data was telling it to use the wrong protocol.

My issue has already been resolved but I still think that Jira server is rejecting request with file:// protocol on its origin header.

I say this because the way I resolved my issue is just changing the value of the origin header from file:// to my Jira base url - https://xxyyzz.atlassian.net

No, the REST API is simply a service that you call.  You're using an https POST to connect.  How you're doing that or where from is utterly irrelevant.

I suspect you're simply posting data in the wrong format.
