I wasn't aware of Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway so I'm not entirely sure
how it compares...
From a quick look:
The 'http' mailer posts the report to an URL,
'Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway' takes a HTTP requests and uses the
parameters in it to send the email.
If someone is stuck behind a firewall then they can currently set up
Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway on another server but they have (I think!)
no (easy) way of sending the Smoke reports to it.
It can currently not be used directly by the 'http' mailer.
(Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway sends it to an address specified in the
code while the 'http' mailer add parameters for the To, Cc and Bcc)
Kind regards,
Bram

This was created in Oslo to receive and forward reports for CPAN
smokers, not for CORE smokers. Talk to xdg and/or rjbs on #perl-qa on
IRC to ask if this can be made more general for CORE smoking. I bet
they are open for it.

How does this compare to Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway?
I haven't looked into the matter, so I ask just to get some information.
The patch looks fine, although I might change some of the configuration item
names. I don't like the echoing reading of the password, so I'd like to put
some extra effort into preventing that.
Thanks again for the interest and work!
Good luck,
Abe.
