Jira.CreateRestClient throwing an exception

[JeffArmstrong]

I am a newbie Jira user and am trying to create a Jira client via the Atlassian.Jira SDK method 'CreateRestClient' as follows:

---

public String JiraQuery()
{
Jira jiraClient = Jira.CreateRestClient(txtSrvrAddress.Text, txtEMail.Text, txtAPIToken.Text, new JiraRestClientSettings());
IProjectService iService = jiraClient.Projects;
Task<IEnumerable<Project>> ienumProject = iService.GetProjectsAsync();

return "Hello there!";
}

---

However, I am getting the following exception when executing the call to CreateRestClient:

I am at a loss as how to solve this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @JeffArmstrong 

I would recommend you to simply use Jira with basic http rest api calls, without any 3rd party library.

And you will not have any issue
