500377 - testopia.py fails to execute any action if the COOKIE_PATH is set to something else than /

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Testopia :: API, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6
Build Identifier: Testopia 2.2 (Bugzilla 3.2)

When the 'cookiepath' in <bugzilla_root>/data/params is set to some other value than '/', it is not possible to execute any action using testopia.py. The reason for that is default policy in cookielib, which drops all cookies with some path. The fix is pretty simple, but I'm not sure if it does not bring some security risks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create example client using python driver - testopia.py:
from testopia import Testopia
URL = 'http://bugzilla.site.with.testopia/tr_xmlrpc.cgi'
client = Testopia(username, password, URL)
print client.testplan_get(1) #assume that test plan with id = 1 exists
2. execute the script

Actual Results:  
testopia.TestopiaXmlrpcError: Error while executing cmd 'TestPlan.get(1)' --> <Fault 410: 'Login Required'>

Expected Results:  
Test plan details are printed

This is an example fix for the COOKIE_PATH problem. It works for me, but I guess someone should check if there is a better solution
