milestone parsing broken if you cannot change it

Hi Brain,
thanks for reporting this, this is a bug and is not related to inactive milestones. Parsing of milestones if the user is not allowed to change them seems to be broken. I' going to fix this asap.

this verifies my first guess:

In [1]: from launchpadbugs.lpconstants import HTTPCONNECTION

In [2]: from launchpadbugs.connector import ConnectBug

In [3]: Bug = ConnectBug()

In [4]: bug = Bug(83143)

In [5]: bug.url
Out[5]: 'https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/83143'

In [6]: bug.milestone

In [7]: Bug.set_connection_mode(HTTPCONNECTION.MODE.EDGE)

In [8]: bug = Bug(83143)

In [9]: bug.url
Out[9]: 'https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/83143'

In [10]: bug.milestone

In [11]: Bug.authentication = cookie

In [12]: bug = Bug(83143)

In [13]: bug.url
Out[13]: 'https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/83143'

In [14]: bug.milestone
Out[14]: 'Ubuntu: obsolete-milestone'

In [15]: Bug.set_connection_mode(HTTPCONNECTION.MODE.STABLE)

In [16]: bug = Bug(83143)

In [17]: bug.url
Out[17]: 'https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/83143'

In [18]: bug.milestone
Out[18]: 'Ubuntu: obsolete-milestone'

Using the text connector and trying to find the milestone for bug 211759 fails with the following error message:

<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: There is no row of the info-table linked to this bugreport (https://launchpad.net/bugs/211759/+text)

It works fine with bug 83143 though.

This is not related to this bug and parsing in general. The major problem in the +text view of launchpad bugpages is that pages like https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/211759/+text, unlike https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/211759, are not redirected, so there is no way to find which of the many tasks should be shown as bug.info.

Redirection examples:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/211759 --> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/211759
but
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/211759/+text is not redirected

if https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/211759/+text would be redirected to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/211759/+text then it would be possible to use LPTasks.current_from_url() to parse 'distro' and 'package' out of the url to identify the task shown as bug.info
