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)" />
The uri could be :
- mailto: to send a report by mail (ex: mailto:webmaster at 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 )
- etc (ws:, irc: ...)
In order to test this i just made a Chrome extension illustrating how
browsers could handle this meta markup :
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bugmeback/hgmagcomobmjhaomdoihiggpdekaehmg
The code is there : https://github.com/nfroidure/BugMeBack
Are you interested in that kind of approach for bug reporting ?
Have a nice day
