Jenkins REST API Create job
I'm creating a new job in Jenkins using the REST API. I tried the below curl command lines, but they are throwing an error
curl -i -X POST --user "admin:<API token>" --data-binary "@C:mylocalconfig.xml" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" http://localhost:8080/createItem?name=NewJob
curl -X POST -u <username>:<pass> -H "Content-Type:application/xml" -d "@C:mylocalconfig.xml" "http://localhost:8080/createItem?name=AA_TEST_JOB3"
Error:
HTTP/1.1 403 No valid crumb was included in the request

Jenkins by default has CSRF Protection enabled which prevents one-click attacks. To invoke the request, you need to obtain the crumb from /crumbIssuer/api/xml using your credentials and include it into your request.
/crumbIssuer/api/xml
For example:
CRUMB=$(curl -s 'http://USER:TOKEN@localhost:8080/crumbIssuer/api/xml?xpath=concat(//crumbRequestField,":",//crumb)')
Then you can create a job (by including the crumb into your header):
curl -X POST -H "$CRUMB" "http://USER:TOKEN@localhost:8080/createItem?name=NewJob"
If the above won't work, check your crumb (echo $CRUMB) or run curl with -u USER:TOKEN.
echo $CRUMB
curl
-u USER:TOKEN
For a more detailed explanation, see: Running jenkins jobs via command line.
When I do this, I get 'Error No Content-Type header set'
