Bugzilla 3.5 Advanced Search Breaks When Bugzilla Reverse Proxied
April 21st, 2009
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.
That helped us out. Thank you.
I still get an error submitting new tasks from Mylyn to bugzilla. have you seen this?
Hi Ryan, glad it helped. I haven’t run into issues posting bugs from mylyn recently but think I may have in the past. I’ve done some other modifications to bugzilla, so let me check to see if one of those is relevant.
After checking my Bugzilla install, I don’t see that I have any changes that would effect creating new bugs from Mylyn. I am running the latest and greatest Mylyn release, and I believe there were some bug fixes related to Bugzilla integration, so you may want to make sure you have the latest build.
