title: Unauthorized (401) when I try to access JIRA REST API with PHP
body: <p>I'm trying to use JIRA REST API with PHP. When I copy the url below and paste it straight into the browser it works fine. The resulting issue is returned as json. </p>
  
  <p>But with the code below it doesn't work. I get Unauthorized (401) as a return message. Yes, I have checked and double checked that the credentials are valid. This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$username = 'username';
  $password = 'psw';
  $url = "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/XXX-123";
  
  $curl = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
  
  $result = curl_exec($curl);
  echo $result;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
