I took another look at this issue.  I'm testing with Jenkins LTS 1.565.3
and I just don't see a problem here.  I believe I got an error on my
last attempt to repro (passing in params)  because I didn't setup my job
to accept parameters (in the job config page).  Once I setup the job to
accept parameters in Jenkins I was able to use the build_job method
without error (with and without params) which seems like expected
behavior to me.

I also double checked this behavior by manually using the Jenkins REST
api to start a build with parameters (i.e.
http://host:8080/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?foo=bar) on jobs that are
not setup for parameterization.  I get the following error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: This
build is not parameterized!

So unless Jenkins allowed users to pass params to jobs that are not
setup for parameterization in older versions of Jenkins I don't think
this is a valid bug.  If anything the real bug is that python-jenkins
doesn't provide a useful failure message in this scenario.

BTW, I tried the patches from Terry and TianTian and both result in
failure when attempting to use build_job with params on jobs that are
not not setup for parameterization.

Title:
  build_job with parameters fails since POST is not used.

Status in Python API for Jenkins:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Jenkins requires a POST when a job URL has parameters.  Since python-
  jenkins does not pass urllib2.urlopen a data value a GET is used
  instead.  This results in a failure and the Jenkins error page is
  returned.

  To reproduce this bug:

  - Create a job with parameters.
  - In ipython:
  import jenkins
  j = jenkins.Jenkins(url)
  j.build_job(job_name, {param : value})

  This will fail.
