301508 - Say 'Goodbye' to CGI.pl

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

All routines are gone. It's time to remove CGI.pl.

Comment 1

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Bye bye!

Comment 2

[Frédéric Buclin]

Attachment: patch (work in progress), v0.6

I did only a few test (explaining why this patch has a version < 1.0) and
realized that Bugzilla::Error was required in almost each .cgi page. I prefered
to put it in globals.pl for now than writing 'use Bugzilla::Error;' everywhere.
About Bugzilla::Bug, I still have to check whether we really need it in
globals.pl or not. Also, globals.pl is still required in most files because of
SendSQL-like routines as well as $::templates and $::vars.

Question: which files should care about "do $localconfig;" as well as $::ENV
and $::SIG variables defined in globals.pl? That's another reason I avoided to
remove "require globals.pl" even when this call didn't seem useful.

Comment 3

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

The $::ENV modifications are required for taint safety. The $::SIG handlers are
also needed by every CGI.

Comment 4

[Frédéric Buclin]

Attachment: patch, v1

Get rid of CGI.pl, meaning that:
- $::cgi and $::buffer go away;
- $vars->{'help'} is now replaced by cgi.param("help") in templates;
- require "CGI.pl" is replaced by require "globals.pl" where appropriate
(CGI.pl called globals.pl);
- use Bugzilla::Error which was called from CGI.pl is now called from
globals.pl.

patch, v1

This *looks* basically very good. :-) I'm quite excited about it. :-)

I'll let wicked do the code testing.

Comment 6

[Frédéric Buclin]

I did some additional tests for all affected files, and I saw no problem.

Comment 7

patch, v1

Looks valid and brief tests didn't hint on any major regessions so farewell
CGI.pl!

Comment 8

[Frédéric Buclin]

Bye bye!
