Description of problem: If one uses the bugzilla query interface to generate searches the url generated are very long. They are usually too long to be pastable in irc, etc. Most of the fields set are empty by default. Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a query for all open bugs CC someone@somewhere Actual results: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=+&version=&component_text=&query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&fixed_in_type=allwordssubstr&fixed_in=&qa_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&qa_whiteboard=&devel_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&devel_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&cust_facing=&cust_facing_type=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=exact&email2=someone%40somewhere&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&changedin=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit Expected results: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&ng&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=exact&email2=someone%40somewhere Additional info: It would be great if empty unneeded fields could be dropped from the query urls to keep their length's sane.
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/query.cgi> uses POST to send the information to bugzilla, so this should be fixable on the bugzilla server side IMHO.
Adding link to long-standing upstream bug.
