1001643 - BzAPI should convert userid=1234&cookie=mG4J9OT4B6 to token=1234-mG4J9OT4B6 for XMLRPC/JSONRPC webservice calls

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: BzAPI, defect)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

Eventually BMO will stop supporting cookies over webservice calls so BzAPI should be updated to convert cookie params to tokens for XMLRPC calls. This of course is if BMO stops supporting cookies before BzAPI is transitioned over to BMO directly but we should still do this change if it is not too involved.

Thanks

dkl: is this still necessary, or do the stars line up so the BzAPI shim on BMO can take over for people having problems with this?

The BzAPI extension does in fact take userid=1234&cookie=mG4J9OT4B6 to token=1234-mG4J9OT4B6 and converts it to Bugzilla_token=1234-mG4J9OT4B6 so this does not need to be fixed in the BzAPI proxy code itself. So we can close this.
