Description Yi Chun Chen 2013-11-11 07:08:36 UTC 
Hi Bugzilla Team,

When I try to extract bug from https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com/ using the XML RPC API, I got such results:

Bug 950099:

last_change_time=2013-10-28 06:57:08
creation_time=2013-10-28 06:57:00

Bug 947788:

last_change_time=2013-11-05 12:10:33
creation_time=2013-09-01 07:02:00

But when I open the "XML" link on the webpage, I got these:

Bug 950099:

<delta_ts>2013-10-28 22:57:08 -0400</delta_ts>
<creation_ts>2013-10-28 22:57:00 -0400</creation_ts>

Bug 947788:

<delta_ts>2013-11-05 03:10:33 -0500</delta_ts>
<creation_ts>2013-09-01 23:02:00 -0400</creation_ts>

I am quite confusing about this result, why there are hours gap between the XML data and the data extracted by the Bug.get API?

Is there any bugs hidden?

Please check this, this is somewhat urgent for the Bug bridge job.

Thanks!

RPC calls return time in UTC. Pages in the web UI return the time according to your preference.

> Is there any bugs hidden?

Yes, there are plenty of bugs that you are not able to see. Bug 1 is an example.
