For me it's a little soon to give a status. The good news is that I more
or less understand what is happening (...at least I think I do ;). I would
tend to say that 2) and 3) have different causes, but will have a common
solution. For 3), what I think happens is that when cloning XWiki context
on job scheduling, somehow the HttpRequest and HttpResponse it contains
are not actual clones. When trying to send notifications, the watchlist
jobs tries to call getExternalURL(), which itself asks for the host to
that bad HttpRequest, this one raising a NPE. So if we create our own
custon XWikiContext instead of copying the current one on job scheduling,
we will have control on what we want it to provide to the job, thus
resolving 2) and 3).

I'll give you an update of progress made on tomorrow, and say if I can
engage myself for monday.

Jérôme.
