My approach is to check the version number of the Bugzilla software and to switch to whichever security method is appropriate for that version: cookies, tokens or passwords-only.

See http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService.html#LOGGING_IN in the documentation for Bugzilla 4.5.5 (the next version), as opposed to 4.4.5 (the current version). Bugzilla 4.5.5 allows tokens, but I believe they will be discontinued at some stage, though I cannot put my finger on where I have seen that discussion.

My patch is also intended to be extendable, so that Dr Konqi can be updated and re-released, ahead of time, if any further feature change is announced by Bugzilla and could adversely affect Dr Konqi.

Also, your patch has some improvements to the testing, which is important. And I think we need to get a fix into the closing versions of KDE 4 ASAP (next deadline Thursday, 9 October). My fixes will be more long-term and I am running short of days to work on them, due to other commitments, and anyway they may take a while to review... So please revive your review and patch, Frédéric.

Frédéric, please have a look at review https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120431/ particularly the comments of the last 24 hours.

Somebody is going to have to commit a patch for Dr Konqi before Albert Astals Cid starts tagging KDE 4.14.2 on Thursday night. It will be either your patch, my patch or a simplified version of my patch. If the consensus is to use your patch in KDE 4.14.2 for now, I would like to give it a test on Thursday (Australian time, UTC + 11 hours). I am otherwise engaged today (Wednesday).

All being well, I could commit your patch, but do you have commit rights yourself?
