To start a new build using the webhook URL, which curl command is correct?

• A. curl -X POST -k <url>/<secret>/generic
• B. curl -X POST <url>/<secret>/webhook
• C. curl -X POST -k <url>/secret/generic
• D. curl -X GET -k <url>/<secret>/generic

Answer: (A)

Triggering a new build via a webhook is done by sending an HTTP POST to the webhook endpoint that includes your shared secret and ends with /generic. The POST method is required because the webhook performs an action (starting a build), not a retrieval. If TLS uses a self-signed certificate, you may need to disable verification with -k so curl will connect. So the correct command is curl -X POST -k <url>/<secret>/generic. The other forms are not correct because one uses the /webhook path instead of the generic endpoint, another uses GET instead of POST, and another misplaces the secret in the URL.
