Hi,
I think we need a specification to allow users to report websites
bugs from their browser. That's why i think it could be usefull to add a
meta markup like this :
<meta name="bugreport" content="(uri)" />
<link>, not <meta>.
Indeed it seems better
The uri could be :
- mailto: to send a report by mail (ex: mailto:webmas...@example.org)
- http: to send the bug report a a simple HTTP POST request (ex:
http://example.org/bugreport).
- bug: something more customizable to allow webmasters to fit bug
reports with their systems (ex:
bug:http?uri=/bug.dat&method=POST&captcha=/captcha.jpg )
What's the use case for this? Do you want to automate bug submission?
What for?
The main advantage of bug submissions inside the browser is the ability
to retrieve a lot of informations automatically that you can't get
inside a web page context. By exemple, in the extension :
- a screenshot of the page
- the content of the javascript error console
- the uri, the window size, the user agent
All technical datas a normal user don't know.
The main reason is to get a better web by catching better feedback.
