Bugzilla 3.5 Advanced Search Breaks When Bugzilla Reverse Proxied

I recently upgraded my bugzilla installation to 3.5 to find my Eclipse-mylyn integration had broken.

After some traffic inspection and a look at buglist.cgi, I found that new code was added to “clean” advanced bug queries. This code cleans the query, then performs a redirect to the new clean query using the correct bugzilla hostname but using the local webserver port. Because I was proxying traffic to my actual bugzilla server through another server on a different port, this redirect was invalid.

I fixed this by commenting out the following code in buglist.cgi:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

# If query was POSTed, clean the URL from empty parameters and redirect back to
# itself. This will make advanced search URLs more tolerable.
#if ($cgi->request_method() eq 'POST') {
#    $cgi->clean_search_url();
#    print $cgi->redirect(-url => $cgi->self_url());
#    exit;
#}

I’ll try to actually fix the redirect tomorrow to take advantage of the cleanup.
