Konqueror treats "&" ampersand as part of domain in URL
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:52:49 UTC
Hello, when Konqueror gets redirected to an URL that is constructed like "www.domain.foo¶meter=value", Konqueror will not seperate the URL correctly, but look for a domain called "www.domain.foo¶meter=value" instead of "www.domain.foo". Example: http://pfp.meinestadt.de/flink/11205/0?src=%26url_plain%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fde.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch&fr=cb-mein&ei=ISO-8859-1&p=immobilienverwaltung Try this URL. You will get an empty page with "Unknown computer www.meinestadt.de". Reload with F5. You will get a popup error message that says "Unknown computer www.meinestadt.de&url_plain=http" The strange thing is that this error only surfaces when trying to reload with F5. You don't notice it when loading the page normally. I'm not sure whether this form of URLs is RFC compliant but I've seen it quite frequently and at least the error message Konqueror gives is misleading. This has also been reported to KDE as http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112875 Thank you! Jens
known upstream - thanks
Actually, Firefox doesn't like this URL either. Strangely, *sometimes* it works. I haven't been able to figure out a way to predict this.
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
