914196 - Documentation for User.login should state cookies not used for JSONRPC and REST when making future connections

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: WebService, defect)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/User.html#login states:

Returns

    On success, a hash containing two items, id, the numeric id of the user that was logged in, and a token which can be passed in the parameters as authentication in other calls. A set of http cookies is also sent with the response. These cookies *or* the token can be sent along with any future requests to the webservice, for the duration of the session.

The text needs to be changes to state that cookies are only accepted for POST/PUT requests when using JSONRPC or REST endpoints for the API.

Will attach a patch.
