[Georg Ording]

Hi all,

Im writing a method to post issues to jira by curl. Due to rest api working only in version 5.x Id like to find out ther version number first to be able to send an exeption on versions <5.

Hi Pablo

thx for your quick answer.

unfortunat this ist giving me the latest jira version

what I need is the version of the jira instanses running in our company. because we have diffrent instances I need to determine on which I am able to use the REST API comands to.

therefor I m writing a script to find out if the version of the instance is 5 or greater.

regards

Then change the server:

<your own server>/rest/applinks/latest/manifest
