Create an Issue with Jira API REST

Question

When I try to create an Issue via the Jira API REST, I get a 500 Internal server error, I succeeded to get an issue from a project with a get-request but when I try the post-request to create a new issue it doesn't work I get the error.

Here is my JavaScript code :

createIssue: function(req, res) {
  var Http = require('machinepack-http');
  process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0";
  Http.sendHttpRequest({
    url: '/rest/api/2/issue/',
    baseUrl: 'https://jira.mydomain.com',
    method: 'post',
    data: {
      "fields": {
        "project": {
          "key": "TEST"
        },
        "summary": "REST ye merry gentlemen.",
        "description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API",
        "issuetype": {
          "name": "Bug"
        }
      }
    },
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Basic YWxbG9wMS4zp0bWFuzeThYS5l1TIqaXoxOTg5554Jh"
    },
  }).exec({
    serverError: function(result) {
      res.send("server error" + JSON.stringify(result))
    },
    success: function(result) {
      res.send("issue has been created succefly");
    },
  });
}

Error content :

{
    "body": "{\"errorMessages\":[\"Internal server error\"],\"errors\":{}}",
    "headers": "{\"server\":\"nginx/1.6.0\",\"date\":\"Tue, 14 Apr 2015 13:45:38 GMT\",\"content-type\":\"application/json;charset=UTF-8\",\"transfer-encoding\":\"chunked\",\"connection\":\"close\",\"x-arequestid\":\"945x246734x1\",\"set-cookie\":[\"JSESSIONID=838923A79DA31F77BDD62510399065CF; Path=/; HttpOnly\",\"atlassian.xsrf.token=BQIV-TVLW-FGBG-OTYU|63c1b4a7b87a9367fff6185f0101c415f757e85b|lin; Path=/\"],\"x-seraph-loginreason\":\"OK\",\"x-asessionid\":\"ughpoh\",\"x-ausername\":\"alaa\",\"cache-control\":\"no-cache, no-store, no-transform\",\"x-content-type-options\":\"nosniff\"}",

Use params instead of data

JS:-

createIssue: function(req, res) {
  var Http = require('machinepack-http');
  process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0";
  Http.sendHttpRequest({
    url: '/rest/api/2/issue/',
    baseUrl: 'https://jira.mydomain.com',
    method: 'post',
    params: {
      "fields": {
        "project": {
          "key": "TASC"
        },
        "summary": "REST ye merry gentlemen.",
        "description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API",
        "issuetype": {
          "name": "Bug"
        }
      }
    },
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Basic YWxbG9wMS4zp0bWFuzeThYS5l1TIqaXoxOTg5554Jh"
    },
  }).exec({
    serverError: function(result) {
      res.send("server error" + JSON.stringify(result))
    },
    success: function(result) {
      res.send("issue has been created succefly");
    },
  });
}
