183992 - The 'cc' field needs to stop using %::FORM

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 161203

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect, P2)

Description

[Erik Stambaugh]

The 'cc' field uses the old %::FORM hash for its input, which worked fine until
the substring/wildcard match started creating multiple instances of 'cc' in its
field elements.

The problem is that %::FORM elements are concatenated from all instances, so
when these multiple instances are sent, say, as "[e-mail]" and
"[e-mail]", $::FORM{'cc'} will contain
"[e-mail]@peshkin.net".

For now, the 'cc' field seems to be the only one actually affected by this, so
it's more of a priority to have it weaned from %::FORM than the other fields. 
But the other instances of %::FORM should be taken care of too.

Per a discussion with bbaetz and justdave on #mozwebtools, the right way to do
this seems to be changing it to use $cgi->param(), which is where everything
should be headed.

Erik, can you clarify the symptom of your problem? How do you produce input via
Bugzilla that gets run into itself like that?

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

kiko: what's really being said here is that it should have been using %::MFORM
instead of %::FORM, but since we're going to touch it anyway because of the CGI
conversion, we might as well do it with CGI.

This already got fixed though... (with the MFORM method)
