We are using Bugzilla in our company since tree months. We also use Lotus Notes for mailing and some other issues, so it would be great to link lotus notes documents in bugzilla!

It's working great in the "URL" bug field, but not in the scope of comments or attachements! It would be a great benefit for us, if any syntax would provide an "autolincification"-like behavior for external programs like lotus notes!

Maybe it could be solved with an extra embracing syntax like [link] or [url]?

 like it does in the URL field!

Maybe it could also ( or instead) realized as attachments!

Suggest WONTFIX.  This can be done quite easily with customisation.

AFAI see, you just have to change Bugzilla/Constants.pm :

# Protocols which are considered as safe.
use constant SAFE_PROTOCOLS => ('afs', 'cid', 'ftp', 'gopher', 'http', 'https',
                                'irc', 'mid', 'news', 'nntp', 'prospero', 'telnet',
                                'view-source', 'wais');

Comment 2

[Frédéric Buclin]

Yeah, this is not something we will do upstream. Just hack the SAFE_PROTOCOLS constant mentioned in comment 1.

It worked perfectly! Bug can be closed!
