Upload of report possible?

I'm curious to know whether it would be possible to upload a report to mantis through http post, an XML file transfer or some other method?

In particular what I'm interested in doing is having my crash reporter application create new reports in Mantis automatically.

Any chance of being able to do so?

Thanks,

Wade

Hi Wade:

The easiest thing to do is use the MantisConnect web service from http://www.futureware.biz/mantisconnect/ . It provides a server side web service and also comes with a .NET component that you may be able to use as a starter (depending on the licence etc.).

Hmm...interesting, but I'm not interested in using .NET. (I don't have time to dig into it and I support both Unix and Macs as well as Windows)

If there's not an official way, I guess I'll roll my own in a cross-platform manner.

The server side web service is PHP and provides pretty much any functionality you need to interface with Mantis.

You can use any client code you like, it's just that if you are using .NET, you have a head start with the component.

Hopefully that makes a little more sense...
