A Dream - Bug Shooting supports BugZilla

[Vlad Dascalu]

Hey Alexej,

I recommend using the Bugzilla WebService for this.

The main source file is in Bugzilla/ WebService.pm :
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/webtools/bugzilla/Bugzilla/WebService.pm

which in turn calls other secondary files for different purposes.

There is some documentation at the end of the file which might prove useful.

155 Bugzilla::WebService - The Web Service interface to Bugzilla
156
157 =head1 DESCRIPTION
158
159 This is the standard API for external programs that want to interact
160 with Bugzilla. It provides various methods in various modules.
...

The Bugzilla WebService evolved to do a significant portion of the
interaction for the common tasks, but it doesn't map 100% of the
functions.

Here's a list of opened bugs against the Bugzilla:WebService component
(we use bugzilla.mozilla.org to track our bugs):

The feature that you're requesting is reported here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412074 (quite interesting comments)

but it's not fixed. By looking at the existing WebService code you
could implement relatively easily the attachment creation operation,
if interested.

See http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/ on how to submit a patch (the
first two links on that page are probably what you're looking for).
See also the "Mailing List" section, which allows you to subscribe to
developers at bugzilla.org (CCed), this is where dev people could provide
further feedback on your idea (or you can try our IRC channel for
immediate help).
