Until now they are only supported in the atom call (expand named queries)

I am trying to fetch all bugs starting with rubygem- on redhat's bugzilla. Is this implemented? Thanks!

Since the client uses the new_from_uri method call, it cannot handle percent encoded URIs. There is no call to unescape the username. Such a scheme is necessary because login id is an email. Refer [2]. The %40 is treated as part of the username and hence causes authentication error.

Declaring a URL with username:password@host scheme, where the username contains '@' also isnt accepted as the new_from_uri method fails on the split method. Refer [3]

Also unfortunate is the situation where the password contains a special character such as '@'.

[2] pry(main)> Bicho::Client.new('https://some%40redhat.com:[email protected]')
XMLRPC::FaultException: The username or password you entered is not valid.
from /home/thetuxracer/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/2.3.0/xmlrpc/client.rb:272:in `call'
[3] pry(main)> Bicho::Client.new('https://[email protected]:[email protected]')
URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?): https://[email protected]:[email protected]
from /home/thetuxracer/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb:67:in `split

I have a ready patch where I have fallen back on env variables to gather the username and password. I wanted to know, Duncan, if there is something obvious that I am missing? Is getting the credentials from the environment something that you see ok in your mind?

could you implement it? in other implementations its handled as array.

Hi Duncan,

i like bicho, but i'm not a ruby packager expert :)

I was thinking, maybe we could add a small section, to guide how to install bicho. (even if ruby gems installation is a common stuff, i had my problems too .. :)

Could be user friendly then :)

Installing bicho

git clone BICHO.git; cd bicho
bundler.ruby2.1  install 
gem install bicho

Don't know if it's the correct order :)
