Description Robert Elves CLA 2008-01-13 15:17:42 EST 
Currently BugzillaClient performs multiple http requests when retrieving changed tasks due to url length restrictions. By updating the query code to use http POST, changed tasks could be retrieved with a single request.

I wonder if there is a hard limit for number of tasks to search like this in MySQL... it may worth to check that.

I coiuldn't locate exactly where you made changes for this bug.
Are you sure you used GzipPostMethod to do this POST request?
If not we loose the potential bandwidth savings again...

Yes this would be very valuable information.  We'd have to look at the sql executed by Bugzilla's buglist.cgi script.

GzipPostMethod is used (See bugzillaClient.getSearchHits(...))
