A quick improvement would be to already include the message of the original requests.exceptions.HTTPError, so users at least see the HTTP status code. (eg. 403 Forbidden, or 500 Internal Server Error)

This JenkinsException includes the HTTP response code along with a generic description of what that code tends to represent, but it does not include the contents of the response body, which can contain more specific information about what went wrong. The lack of this debugging information seriously hampers debugging efforts of some Jenkins issues.
