329923 - ignore-whitespace option for patch diff viewer

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 285814

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, enhancement)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

As a frequent reviewer of patches, one thing that would help me A LOT
would be the ability to view a patch's diffs ignoring whitespace changes.

For example, look at this set of patch diffs:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=213909&action=diff#mozilla/security/nss/tests/ssl/ssl.sh_sec16
This patch changed the indentation level of a lot of code, and changed the 
actual non-whitespace content of just a few lines.  
I can't see the lines that had non-whitespace changes because they're buried
in all those whitespace changes.  

So, I'd like to have a URL that is similar to 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=213909&action=diff
but with some added feature that says "ignore whitespace".
Perhaps something likek this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=213909&action=diff&whitespace_mode=ignore

The page/script http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi has this feature.
I'd REALLY like to see it in 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=213909&action=diff too.
