lp.bugs.externalbugtracker.mantis : API documentation

def mantis_login_hook(response, *args, **kwargs):

requests hook to automatically log into Mantis anonymously if needed.

The ALSA bug tracker is the only tested Mantis installation that actually needs this. For ALSA bugs, the dance is like so:

We request bug 3301 ('jack sensing problem'):

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3301

Mantis redirects us to:

.../alsa-bug/login_page.php?

return=%2Falsa-bug%2Fview.php%3Fid%3D3301

We notice this, rewrite the query, and skip to login.php:

.../alsa-bug/login.php?

return=%2Falsa-bug%2Fview.php%3Fid%3D3301& username=guest&password=guest

Mantis accepts our credentials then redirects us to the bug view page via a cookie test page (login_cookie_test.php)

Function	mantis_login_hook	requests hook to automatically log into Mantis anonymously if needed.
Class	MantisBugBatchParser	A class that parses the batch of bug data.
