To update priority you should use PUT rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}.

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/?_ga=2.226925854.2030217466.1525875113-593458345.1525875113#api/2/issue-editIssue

Example of JSON would be like this:

{"update":{"priority":[{"set":{"name" : "Trivial"}}]}}

To update a status you should perform a transaction, leading to the status. You should use POST /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/transitions

I am not sure how you send your request. But there is always a response. I usually use SOAP UI to play with REST calls.

What is the response code?

[Alexey Matveev]

What is you content-type header? It must be application/json

If you follow this link, you will see an example:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-doTransition

When you create a workflow, you add statuses and then connect statuses by transitions. When you go from the To Do status to the In Progress status, you push a button. This button performs a transition. You can find the transition id, if you open your workflow in edit mode. In the picture the id of the In Progress transition is 11
