Resolved/FIXED a bug with a http request

[Calvert, Douglas]

The real magic bullet discussion is
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224577
Bugzilla could use a web services interface 
"Having a web services interface to Bugzilla would be a nifty tool to
allow remote users to enter bugs via a client-side, native interface.
The current method used by tools like Bugxula works, but doesn't provide
the interface stability that a web service would and requires a bit of
server-side setup to generate the .rss files required for use."

	Presumably Vianney is looking for a way to programmatically
resolve bugs.
	
	

		anyway this isn't a support place, see
http://www.bugzilla.org/support/
		  

	Perhaps, although if it's a question about programmatic access
to Bugzilla's APIs, it might be considered something of a development
question, even if it's not about the development of Bugzilla proper.
	
	In any case, it isn't trivial, since process_bug.cgi expects
requesters to submit many fields of information about the bug; it isn't
satisfied to be given merely the information being changed.  The change
multiple bugs form works around this by submitting a special "is not
being changed" value for fields not being modified.  You may be able to
do the same.
