How to disable a Jenkins job via curl?

Question

I want to disable a Jenkins job by sending a post curl request to Jenkins.

I\'ve tried doing that using:

1. curl -X POST http://:8080

Answer 1

I found the first part of kenorb's solution worked for me, i.e. getting the crumb, but for the second part, curl did not like that syntax, it said:

curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'http:'

So I had to use the following syntax which worked:

curl -H $CRUMB http://localhost:8080//disable -u USER:TOKEN
