REST API suddenly stopped working

mbratch July 2, 2019

I've been writing an in-house web application to import a large number of legacy requirements into JIRA. I've done a lot of testing so I have been doing a lot oF REST API requests over time. I've been using basic authentication.

Everything has been working fine. But then suddenly, this evening, the REST API calls stopped responding altogether. I get no response at all and eventually the request just times out. An example call would be:

GET https://username:password@our-company-server.com/tracker11/rest/api/2/project

This was literally working 2 hours ago and now just times out. Interestingly, if I just type the https address in the address bar of the browser, I get the expected response.

Any idea what might cause this?

Well... I just rebooted my PC and it seems to work fine now. I will leave this here in case there's some explanation offered.
