I want to extract some information from Bugzilla's long_list.cgi page and email
it to someone who does not have access. So I type:
wget http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/long_list.cgi?buglist=253453,262308
The data comes back, I email it, but the links don't work. But there is 1 link
that does work and that's "Home"
The others are just partial URLs that do not work.
Here is example output from long_list.cgi
<form method="get" action="show_bug.cgi">
<div id="useful-links">
<div id="links-actions">
<div class="label">Actions:</div>
<div class="links">
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/">Home</a> |
<a href="enter_bug.cgi">New</a> |
<a href="query.cgi">Search</a> |
<input class="btn" type="submit" value="Find"> bug #
<input class="txt" name="id" size="6"> |
<a href="report.cgi">Reports</a>
| <a href="request.cgi">Requests</a>
| <a href="createaccount.cgi">New Account</a>
| <a href="query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1">Log In</a>
</div>
</div>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Actual Results:
Most URLs don't work because they are relative.
Expected Results:
It would be best if the URLs were portable.
M.b. I did not get the idea, but if someone has no access, how could full URL's
help? If that person has no access to specific bugs/products, either grant him
an access and send him just original URL or send all the data textualy.
Also, IMHO reporter should do RTFM for wget (clue: -k option)
My vote goes for "RESOLVED: WONTFIX".

He has access sometimes. He is on the road and does not have access to
anything but email. So he receives email, returns to the office and can
navigate through the URLs.

Explained above, and how would sending the data textually be any different?
You mean resolve all the URLs textually?

Nice advice, bad packaging.

That's fine.

You can also customize the global/header.html.tmpl template and add a <base> tag
in the html:
Right after <head> and before <title>, add
<base href="[% Param('urlbase') %]" />
This one line change makes links work in pages used in another context than the
online bugzilla server.
