I'm trying to trigger a Jenkins job from my local CLI and, while it worked yesterday, today I can't get past "javax.servlet.ServletException: This page expects a form submission but had only {token=[Ljava.lang.String;@xxxx} exceptions. Here is my CLI command:

curl -v -X POST http://<server>/jenkins/job/<jobName>/build?token=12345

I've seen numerous ways to trigger builds remotely and the way that I've chosen is to set the token above in the destination job's "Trigger builds remotely" section and use the preceding curl command. I'm open to better ways to accomplish this.

Stack Trace:
