Re: Bug reporting howto?

[Chad Dailey <wireshark () thedaileyplanet com>]

My bad again.  Proxy does not enter into this for the Bugzilla links.  Here
are some broken links:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/docs/html/bugreports.html
http://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-2.22-branch/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html
(404 not found)
http://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-2.22-branch/  (404 not found)
http://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-2.22-branch/enter_bug.cgi  (404 not
found)

There are more on other 'bug' pages.

The 'pick a product' and following... well that was an honest to goodness
PEBKAC.

Thanks!
