if ($success != 1) {
    print "ConnectFailReason: " . $rest->get_ConnectFailReason() . "\r\n";
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$rest->SetAuthBasic('jira@example.com',"JIRA_API_TOKEN");

$rest->AddHeader("Accept","application/json");

$sbResponseBody = chilkat::CkStringBuilder->new();
