Description Wei Shen 2012-12-05 05:57:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
version 4.2.4-6.1

Hwcert team is using web service to search bugs, but sometimes, we met with "Can't call method "iso8601" on an undefined value at Bugzilla/WebService/Server.pm line 69". After looking into this, I Found the cause was delta_ts = "0000-00-00 00:00:00". So the code of datetime_format_outbound in Bugzilla/WebService/Server.pm need to improve.
$time could be undef.

Comment 1 Simon Green 2012-12-17 01:07:41 UTC 
Do you have an example bug number (or search call) that shows this? I cannot find any bugs with a delta_ts of 0000-00-00.
Comment 2 Wei Shen 2012-12-17 02:42:30 UTC 
No, I don't have one now. That date made our tools crash, so we fixed it by changing the delta_ts. I know that case is quite rare, but it could be true.
Comment 3 Simon Green 2012-12-17 02:59:13 UTC 
If you come up with an example to reproduce the error, we can look into it. Until then, I'm marking this bug as WORKSFORME.
