unable to create a new Isssue using REST API ver. 4.4.3

[Slawomir Fiedor]

I've been trying to create iumple Story Issue using the REST API ver. 4.4.3.

I used following json input data:

{
"fields":
{
"project":{"key": "SB"},
"summary": "test story.",
"description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API",
"issuetype": {"id": "6"}
}
}

But what I get is "Method Not Allowed" exception (405).

The same happens even when I try to get the metadata for creating issues:

https://<HOST>/rest/api/latest/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=SB

or

https://<HOST>/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=SB

throws the same exception.

When I use SOAP everything works fine.

Do you have idea if there is something that I'm missisn or is it the REST API ver. 4.4. that is notfully functional?

Creating/Updating/Deleting issues via REST is supported only from JIRA 5.

When do you expect Jira 5 to be available to OnDemand customers?

As some who has just signed up, I'd like to move my open issues to Jira and the REST interface would make it a bunch easier.

We expect it to be available in February some time, but this is subject to change.
