Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
With Emacs 26.1, M-x gnus-read-ephemeral-bug-group RET
foobar RET gives "gnus-list-of-unread-articles: Group
nndoc+ephemeral:bug#0 couldn’t be activated", while leaving
a temporary file with the contents:
| <HTML>
| <HEAD><TITLE>Error</TITLE></HEAD>
| <BODY>
| An error occurred.
| Error was: No bug number
| </BODY></HTML>
behind in /tmp.
This also happens with gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group
and gnus-read-ephemeral-debian-bug-group.
For GNU bugs, fixing this might be made easier by updating
debbugs.gnu.org as it currently returns 200 OK for non-ex-
isting bugs:
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ curl -is 'https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=foobar;mboxmaint=yes;mboxstat=yes' | head -1
| HTTP/1.1 200 OK
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$
while bugs.debian.org gives a status code that can be used
for diagnostics:
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ curl -is 'https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595256;mboxmaint=yes;mboxstat=yes' | head -1
| HTTP/1.1 200 OK
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ curl -is 'https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=4711;mboxmaint=yes;mboxstat=yes' | head -1

The attached patch fixes this for Emacs 27. It also improves the
reading and handling of multiple string/numeric bug IDs, which is
currently quite brittle, and extends some of the relevant documentation.
WDYT?

I think the attached patch is as good as gnus-read-ephemeral-bug-group
can do for now, without fixing several known deficiencies of the url.el
library and debbugs.gnu.org instance (each of which deserves its own bug
ticket if it doesn't already have one).
Thanks,

Looks good to me, and it works fine, so I've applied it to the trunk.
