How to access JIRA from server

I want to access JIRA from our server. I am on a intranet network and am logged in to one of our servers. I want to get list of all issues from the url: https://ficcjira.xyz.com/browse/ABC using a REST API call.

I don't know much curl but I'm doing something like this: 

curl -D- -u username:password -x GET -H "Content-Type: application/json"  http://ficcjira.xyz.com/browse/ABC

But no good.

How exactly to do it?

Result response for the above curl:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://ficcjira.xyz.com/browse/abc
Server: BigIP
Content-Length: 0
Cache-Control: proxy-revalidate
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Connection: Keep-Alive

From the code you posted, I see some errors:

  1. You are not using the rest api URL, that should be something which has "rest/api/2" in the URL
  2. You are not calling the api correctly - you should be sending a JQL search query, not just a browse. So your URL should probably end with "/search?jql=..."
  3. You are not enclosing your URL in double quotes, so your curl command is being turned into 2 unix commands.

I suggest you first try this URL in your browser, and see if you get any results:

http://ficcjira.xyz.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=ABC

If you do, you can then try this curl call:

curl --globoff --insecure --silent -u username:password -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' "http://ficcjira.xyz.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=ABC"

You might get some more insight from my blog here: http://javamemento.blogspot.no/2016/05/jira-confluence-3.html

Why have you tagged this with java if you are using curl?

If you are indeed calling this REST API with a GET call from Java, you should be using jersey or Spring's RestTemplate to make the call.

On my blog here, you can get a sample of how to do this with RestTemplate

Edit :

If you can access via browser but not curl, maybe you have a proxy set up. Try using the proxy option for the curl call

--proxy <[protocol://][user:password@]proxyhost[:port]>

Of course I hope you are already using the -L option as others already suggested?
