1032323 - canonicalise_query() should omit parameters with empty values so generated URLs are shorter

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Broken out from bug 594928 comments 4-5.

This will partly fix bug 594928, as well as reduce the cruftyness of URLs generated via other consumers of canonicalise_query():

Attachment: Upstream Patch

Bug 594928 comment 5 says that for assignee etc, an empty value means "use default". So as long as there are no other cases for which the caveat in the last sentence of bug 594928 comment 5 applies, then this should work... I hope! :-)

this was a tricky one to review, but as far as i can tell this shouldn't cause any bad side-effects.

nit: the blank line between paragraphs shouldn't be removed; will fix on commit
