Hi @SVCA JIRA,

I believe the problem here is with the below line:

conn.setRequestProperty("user","myuser@mydomain.com:apitokenhere");

When in Curl you pass the authentication credentials using the -u (or --user) argument, what Curl is doing is to base64 encoding the USERNAME:API_TOKEN string and adding the header "Authorization: Basic XXXXX" where XXXXX is the base64 encoded string.

This is the way HTTP Basic authentication works and it is explained in further details in the below page:

• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-basic-authentication/#supplying-basic-auth-headers 

Therefore, in order to fix your code, please do the following:

1. BASE64 encode the string myuser@mydomain.com:apitokenhere
2. Supply an Authorization header with content Basic followed by the encoded string. For example, the string myuser@mydomain.com:apitokenhere encodes to ZnJlZDpmcmVk in base64, so you would replace the line:

   conn.setRequestProperty("user","myuser@mydomain.com:apitokenhere");
   

   with

   conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization: Basic ZnJlZDpmcmVk");
