Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Build Identifier: When creating a custom "query" for bugs entered in bugzilla the URL gets too "long". A tester can copy-paste the URL into an e-mail (Outlook) or a word document, however since the data portion of the URL is longer then 1024 bits the URL is not clickable. Instead the reciever of the (Outlook) e-mail or MS Word document must cut-and-paste the URL into the web browers to see the results of a search. I would like to see a partial fix for this problem. I know RFC 2397 says the limit should only be 1024 bits for the data portion of a URL, however, bugzilla could decrease the size of the URL in many cases by omitting items in the URL which the user is not changing or selecting the default for. By omiting values in the URL that are not being changed the overall length of the URL in many cases will be under the 1024 limit. Change: Omit items in URL that are not changing default select values. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
