Is it possible to attach file via Bugzscout? I'd like to upload log file when sending report, and I would like to avoid using XML API for this (and hardcoding passwords to application).

Case FC1876196

The XML API does everything the BugzScout api does, as well as allows you to upload files. Due to the weird encoding you need to handle, we don't have any plans to alter BugzScout to accept file uploads. We encourage you to use the XML API to do this (it has all the same BugzScout functionality).

cmd=listScoutCase Arguments: sScoutDescription - empty if no case is found -- limited to 255 chars.

To record a case, simply add the column sScoutDescription when executing a cmd=new

To edit scout info, simply add the columns sScoutMessage and/or fScoutStopReporting when you edit a case.

	Michael, what is great about BugzScout is that out the box its determine if you have to add a new case, append to a old one etc. Maybe you can create a API to do all the things that BugzScout does - I know we can do it but Fogcreek does it always better :) – Jedi Master Spooky♦ Oct 26 2009 at 0:29
	The XML API does do all of that already. You have to use the scout arguments and it will do the exact same thing as bugzscout. – Michael Pryor♦ Oct 26 2009 at 1:51
	If the XML API does everything the BugScout does, why should we use the BugScout? What are the differences? – Nicolaj Schweitz Feb 18 2010 at 12:29
	@nicolaj file uploads plus you get return info from the case that was created. however you need a token (i.e. a logon) – Michael Pryor♦ Feb 18 2010 at 22:00
	@michael So basically it does everything BugszScout does, except you have to use up a license for the privilege, right? – Jim Zajkowski May 25 2010 at 17:47

No. there is not way. FB 6 and first version of FB 7. My Thought is that Bugzscout is going to be deprecated in the future.

	Will there be any replacement, or should I simply use XML API? I am also thinking about uploading reports to my server, which will then process them and put into FogBugz via XML API or by sending email. – Peter Štibraný♦ Oct 19 2009 at 7:17
	BugzScout is not being deprecated. – adambox♦ Oct 28 2010 at 15:51
