Description Etienne Bernard 2005-09-01 17:00:33 UTC
Version:           1.1.2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When displaying some feeds containing images in the description, but without the full url to the image, I get broken images. For example, in the feed available at http://www.lejapon.fr/blog/atom.php the description for an entry is :

<content type="text/html" mode="escaped">
<p>Si vous avez déjà foulé le sol d'un sanctuaire Shinto, vous avez sûrement remarqué 2 statues en pierre de part et d'autre de l'entrée, des sortes de lions (des renards à Inari), bien qu'il s'agisse plus en fait de créatures mythologiques... on les nomme Komainu (certains dirons Karashishi, qui est en faite le nom de l'original chinois, mais comme les japonais en ont fait à leur sauce, c'est devenu Komainu pour la version japonaise).<br />
<img src="/blog/images/Tourisme/IMG_7125.jpg" alt="" /> <img src="/blog/images/Tourisme/IMG_7127.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<br />
[...]
</content>

The images are broken because the html engine does not know how to fetch /blog/images/Tourisme/IMG_7125.jpg. I don't know the internal of akregator, but I think it should be possible to set a base href (or something equivalent) for the html rendering engine, so that the images can be fetched and displayed.

Thanks.

This problem seems to be fixed in SVN and should therefore disappear with KDE 3.5.
