Details

I just hit two issues when writing Python code that posts a comment using the native REST API:


1. When submitting arrays/dicts in the "comment" field of the comment, Bugzilla will not error, but post something like ARRAY(0x7f5b5480eee8) to the bug. This was caused by a bug in my code, but the malformed request should probably be detected.

2. When using JSON booleans (true/false) for the "is_private" field, Bugzilla seems to always use true, even if I specify false. When I use 0/1 respectively in that field, it works fine. So there is probably a bug with JSON boolean conversion somewhere.
splitting the bug into so they can be individually tracked.
second issue is now bug 1165897.
