I honestly don't know.  We were using an older version of Jenkins at the
time, and it's possible that they've changed something in Jenkins that
would work around the issue.  I'm afraid I don't have any time to look
into it today, but here's the code I overrode with:

    def cancel_queue(self, number):
        """
        Cancel a queued build.  The underlying method has a bug that
        renders it non-functional (it tries to do a GET request, when
        Jenkins wants a POST).  This corrects the error by passing
        ``data`` to the urllib2.Request constructor.

        :param number: The queue ID number to cancel.
        """

        req = urllib2.Request(self.server + jenkins.CANCEL_QUEUE %
                              {'number': number}, data='',
                              headers={'Referer': self.server})
        self.jenkins_open(req)

In any case, the above *does* work, and was necessary because, in my
experimentation at the time, I could not get a queued job to be
canceled.

Title:
  cancel_queue() does not work, must use POST not GET

Status in Python API for Jenkins:
  New

Bug description:
  The Jenkins.cancel_queue() method does not actually cancel a queued
  item.  An investigation revealed that Jenkins (v1.529) wants a POST
  rather than a GET, when accessing 'queue/item/%(number)s/cancelQueue'.
