title: How to post credentials using POSTMAN client to create a cookie based session
body: <p>I am using postman client to make REST calls to JIRA API. It says "POST your credentials to <a href="http://jira.example.com:8090/jira/rest/auth/1/session" rel="nofollow">http://jira.example.com:8090/jira/rest/auth/1/session</a>" to get SESSION. I tried posting with Form-data, application/x-www-form-urlencoded, raw etc. Nothing worked. which is the right way to do that.</p>
