By "works for some time and then displays the broken icon", I meant "displays the broken icon after thinking for 1-2 seconds". That was not clear. Solved the issue. Akregator use the user-agent string "Akregator/xxx (librss remnants)" and our firewall blocks http requests whose user agent contains the string "gator". I've been told it is a common setup that is controlled by the provider of our network hardware. It worked before because, once upon a time, I manually patched the binary. But this had popped out of my head. Suggestion: configurable user-agent in akregator. SVN commit 767135 by rytilahti: Add ability to set custom user-agent. To use, type this into your akregatorrc, under the Network group: Custom UserAgent=whateveryoumaywanttohavehere BUGS:144584 M +4 -0 akregator.kcfg M +6 -1 akregator_part.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=767135 |
