History: Webservice Handler

            One of Tiki's new features is the ability to register webservices to be used by plugins. This is a ((handler)) which, combined with ((Plugin Alias Handler)), allows to create brand new plugins exploiting data from external systems. Please see: ((dev:WebServicePlugin))

! Bugzilla Webservice example

This plugin would ask for the real data export URL for the webservice. This is not mandatory.
