Bug report mechanism: URL too long

[bastiK]

I get

414 Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

when clicking on the report button.

What's wrong with using POST method instead of this crude hack?

[stoecker]

You can't pass a POST request to a browser to take it over. The question is why the URL is too long. It should be shortened to the maximum value already.

[bastiK]

Ah, ok. Then a clean solution is probably not worth the effort.

Here's the URL:

[stoecker]

Hmm, maybe we can create a local html file, which does the post request? And call this file. It can be deleted on next josm start.

[skyper]

Please, also take in account the option to use https instead of http

Thanks skyper

Sounds good to me. Then do some javascript magic to send the form data automatically?

[stoecker]

Only one button with "Click me to submit request to server" (a note below that there again submit must be pressed and probably the submitted text above) and auto-click that one when javascript is activate. Why not.

What about xmlrpc plugin for track: ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin?

It has methods for creating new ticket, adding attachement, etc.

This would mean, we need to collect all the information in JOSM before sending it to trac? Seems like a lot of work to me: Authentication, Priority, Component (and keep the list up to date), Attachments,...

[stoecker]

Why don't we display the bugtracker newticket page in JOSM and prefill it? We can use POST request then without problems.

Disadvantage: Cannot use my browser's automatic login (password manager). After click on login the prefilled text is still there?

Advantage: The window shows reliably on screen and not in some browser tab where it could be unnoticed.

I don't know what is better...

I tried this method, but there is a problem:

• open attached file
• click on redirect (java script is commented out)
• click preview -> trac error:

Error: Bad Request

Missing or invalid form token. Do you have cookies enabled?

This is when you have cookies cleared and no active login. It comes for firefix and chrome.

[stoecker]

Trac adds a hidden form field to every form which contains the trac identifier of current session (<input type="hidden" name="FORM_TOKEN" value="0"/>). It must be present. It seems 0 is an acceptable value to prevent above error.

[stoecker]

Ooops - The Wike ate some characters.

<input type="hidden" name="__FORM_TOKEN" value="0" />

[bastiK]

I don't see a difference when adding this.

[stoecker]

This file correctly works for me even in logged out state

[stoecker]

Hmm, even the original file works for me. Can you attach a wireshark log of the communication failing for you?

--> sent email

[stoecker]

Ok, the issue happens when no cookies are saved yet. It seems josmticket redirector somehow kills the trac-form-token cookie and only passes the session cookie.

[stoecker]

Should be fixed now.

[bastiK]

Yes, works.

What is the maximum length for post request? When I send too long, it returns

Page access failed, please retry.

Is it a server limitation that is the same for all users?

[stoecker]

The josmticket script sends a get request to Trac. It needs to be expanded to use POST as well, which is not so easy due to the trac form access token.
