I'm not so familiar with the actual code and the changes over time here, 
so that might as well be the case.

AFAIK there are however PBS 3.x versions out there which do return the 
field also on non http-only tickets, the changes introduced by [0] back 
in March. So it only would be required to backport/build based on this 
[1] patch for stable-3 then?

However, older patch level versions would still not work regardless.
