I would like to use the bugzscout api, but it can't attach files. The XML API requires a login. Unfortunately we're working with a program that is a target for people to sniff the protocol it uses and we have issues with people reverse engineering the communications and we're worried with people getting the logon details of a FB user for our FB server.

Is this an issue, or is the protocol over https or something?

We assume that we'd create a user account that is just for field submissions - there is no real user associated with it.

Are we missing something? Is there a preferred way to do this?

Is it as simple as setting the url to https?

Right now we are using http. I just found two questions on this site with ansers (one for linux and one MS) for how to configure FB for https. Maybe this is the answer. In that case, what is the suggested way to send xml via ssl in C++?

EDITING this so that it gets bumped up.

This is still a concern for us.

By the way, does the latest hosted FB version support the old bugscout?
