404 server not found exception when working with jira instance of type http://machinename:port

Question

Hi The below code is working fine for JIRA machine having of type https://machinename but the same code is throwing 404 server not found exception in response when I use a different JIRA machine of url http://machinename and when I checked for the same in Mozilla rest client for post request it throws 403 forbidden error. What changes do I need to do for the url's starting from http:// . Kindly let me know Below is the code string Url ="https://jiraasp.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/"; string base64Credentials = GetEncodedCredentials(); HttpWebResponse response = null; HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(Url) as HttpWebRequest; request.ContentType ="application/json"; request.MediaType ="application/json"; request.Accept ="application/json"; request.Method ="POST"; request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Credentials); byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(objJIRAData.JsonString); using (var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream()) { requestStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length); requestStream.Close(); } using (response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse) { if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK) { var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); status = response.StatusCode.ToString(); string str = reader.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine("The server returned '{0}' {1}", response.StatusCode, str); var jss = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer(); var sData = jss.Deserialize>(str); JiraKeyValue = sData["key"].ToString(); } }

First, check if the machine is even listening on http.  What do you get when you visit it with a browser?
