Note: If your Jenkins uses the "Prevent Cross Site Request Forgery exploits" security option (which it should), when you make a POST request, you have to send a CSRF protection token (.crumb) as an HTTP request header.

For curl/wget you can obtain the header needed in the request from the

URL JENKINS_URL/crumbIssuer/api/xml (or .../api/json).
