Bugzilla: replace XML-RPC with REST client to simplify dependencies #291

Open ruspl-afed opened 1 year ago

ruspl-afed commented 1 year ago

Apache XML-PRC is not updated for 10+ years and it is risky to stick to it.

It would be great to switch our Bugzilla support to more modern technologies and remove dependency from Apache XML-RPC

@BeckerFrank do you think we can just drop one based on XMLPRC and deliver REST-based instead?

(note: I would keep Bugzilla support till its shutdown)

I have created the Bugzilla Rest Connector, but this is only a pre-release version. We can look what is left to do to finish the work.
