C# Method Not Allowed using POST creating issue, why?

Adam_qi9g97

I've been trying to figure this out for several days, trying every possible combination of JSON string I could find, still will not work.  I am trying to create a new issue in my service  desk project, I keep getting:

" System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() "

My authentication is working fine, it just seems like I can't create an issue., my guess is a malformed json string format but I have literally copied/pasted many solutions (changing the project key ofcourse) and it's not working.  What am I doing wrong?

I am using visual studio with C# with Jira Cloud instance

string stringData = @{"fields"": {""project"":{""key"": ""KEYHERE""},""summary"": ""REST ye merry gentlemen."",""description"": ""Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API"",""issuetype"": {""name"": ""Ticket""}}}";

string url = @"http://HOST.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue";

var data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(stringData); // or UTF8

WebRequest wrUrl = WebRequest.Create(url);
wrUrl.ContentType = "application/json";
wrUrl.Method = "POST";
wrUrl.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + Convert
.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(SharepointUsername+":"+JiraAPIString));
wrUrl.ContentLength = data.Length;

var newStream = wrUrl.GetRequestStream();
newStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
newStream.Close();

Stream stream = wrUrl.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();

I know this is probably long past when you needed it, but I wanted to post a working example:

public JiraDataAccess(string appName, string url, string username, string password)
{
 _applicationName = appName;
 _userName = username;
 _password = password;
 var settings = new JiraRestClientSettings()
 {
 EnableRequestTrace = true
 };
 jira = Jira.CreateRestClient(url, username, password, settings);

}

 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 using (Logger logger = new Logger())
 {
 try
 {
 using (JiraDataAccess jda = new JiraDataAccess(_appName, _url, _username, _password))
 {
 IssuePriority ip = new IssuePriority("3");

 foreach (RepeaterItem item in rpProducts.Items)
 {
 CheckBox bhkBox = item.FindControl("chkSelect") as CheckBox;
 if(bhkBox.Checked)
 {
 Label lblSystemName = item.FindControl("lblSystemName") as Label;
 TextBox tbComments = item.FindControl("txtComments") as TextBox;
 TextBox tbMirrorUser = item.FindControl("txtMirrorUser") as TextBox;
 HiddenField hidProject = item.FindControl("hidProject") as HiddenField;

 string name = "Onboarding";
 string summary = String.Concat("New User Access Request: ", lblSystemName.Text, " - ", "User 1");
 string description = String.Concat("The following new user access request has been created: ", "System: ", lblSystemName.Text,
 "", "Comments: ", tbComments.Text,
 "", "Mirror User: ", tbMirrorUser.Text,
 "", "Username: ", "blah",
 "", "Manager Name: ", "bippity boppity boo");

 string reporter = "ctenney"; 
 Task<string> tsk = jda.CreateIssue(hidProject.Value, name, ip, summary, description, reporter);
 tsk.Wait();
 string caseId = tsk.Result;

 }
 }
 }
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
 logger.Error(_appName, "", "btnSubmit_Click", ex);
 }
 }
 }


public async Task<string> CreateIssue(string project, string name, IssuePriority priority, string summary, string description, string reporter)
{
 string results = "";
 try
 {
 Issue issue = jira.CreateIssue(project);
 issue.Type = name;
 //issue.Priority = priority;
 issue.Summary = summary;
 issue.Reporter = reporter;
 issue.Description = description;

 await issue.SaveChangesAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

 if (issue.Key != null)
 {
 if (issue.Key != "")
 {
 results = issue.Key.Value;
 }
 }
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
 using (Logger logger = new Logger())
 {
 logger.Error(_applicationName, ex);
 }
 return null;
 }

 return results;
}
