HTTP basic authentication failing with request module in a JIRA server

Vote count:

I'm building a simple node.js app that is going to make requests to a JIRA , and for that I need to be authenticated. For now, I'm running the JIRA server on my local machine.

I'm using the request module to make my requests. Here's an example of a simple request that I'm trying to do:

function callback(error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
      var json = JSON.parse(body);
      return json;
    }
}

request.get('http://localhost:8080/an_issue_path', callback).auth(username, password, false);

The problem is that I'm just receiving a 401, with the error message:

{"errorMessages":["You do not have the permission to see the specified issue.","Login Required"],"errors":{}}.

But, what I don't understand is that when I do a curl request, like this:

curl -u username:password http://localhost:8080/an_issue_path

, I get a 200 with the correct json.

What am I doing wrong?
