$ curl https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/1.2/user/jh<snip>la.com
{"error":1,"users":[],"code":null,"message":"Unknown error: 302 Found"}

$ curl https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/1.3/user/jh<snip>la.com
{"real_name":"John Ford [:jhford]","ref":"https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/1.3/user/258126","name":"jh<snip>la.com","id":"258126"}

This is the case for at least the /user method.  Using version 1.3 of the API works perfectly.  I am pretty sure that this worked before the latest bugzilla update, but I don't know with certainty.

there's a bug in bzapi v1.2 when interfacing with bmo, which was fixed in 1.3 (bug 826275).
seems like the fix is to simply use 1.3.

i don't know gerv's policy on backporting fixes, so i won't mark this as a duplicate.

Use 1.3; this is about the only change. (The breakage was with the new version of B.M.O. which is why you haven't seen it until recently.)

Great, Thanks!  I was hoping to not need to go through and find the differences between 1.2 and 1.3, so it's good to know that there shouldn't be too many changes.

Actually this is not fixed. Using 1.3 is a workaround.

WONTFIX is not the right resolution here; we don't mark bugs reported against Firefox 14 WONTFIX because we've fixed them in Firefox 15 but not backported the fix to Firefox 14! FIXED means "fixed in the latest released version".
