I wanted to add my Jenkins job into a particular category in view, we used jenkins-cli.jar for this (This is an automation). It was working earlier and since few weeks it stopped working and facing the below issue.

The only change made in project was the URL from HTTP to HTTPS. Will it cause the issue to happen ? If this is the issue how to make jenkins-cli.jar to work for HTTPS ? Please suggest.

As an alternative way, I tried creating Jenkins job inside a view using cURL and I wanted the particular job inside a category. Moving a job inside category doesn't work here. Kindly help.
