Redmine: create issues via GET request

Question

In JIRA it is possible to create new issues through a simple GET request: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+Issues+via+direct+HTML+links.

A simple example of such a link:

"http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10420&issuetype=3&summary=say+hello+world"

This would create a new issue in project with PID=1042 with summary "Say Hello world".

Is there Redmine plugin/api which allows for such a use case? The REST API is inconvenient for my use since I would like to allow users to create new issues (with pre filled data) through a link sent in email and I don't want to use JavaScript for the job (to send the REST json/xml data).

EDIT: From what I see (http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineReceivingEmails) Redmine provides an email API for submitting issues, this would be a parital solution. I would be able to add a "mailto:" link which would pre fill the content of the message. This solution requires additional emails so still I would prefer to have a post link solution.

Answer 1

I have implemented a basic plugin which fulfills my needs. You can find it at: http://code.google.com/p/redmine-post-link-plugin/

Answer 2

You could also have a server-side script that actually sends the e-mail. There's no post link solution as far as I know.

Answer 3

You might want to look at the Redmine API for updating and creating issues.

Answer 4

In Redmine2 there is oficial API for it.
