Description Toby Dickenson 2009-02-05 10:20:07 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

RFC 2616 requires that the end of line marker in http is \r\n. However most browsers - including Konqueror up to 4.1 - are happy to talk to broken servers that only use \n

Konqueror in 4.2 has become more strict.

Once specific case where this causes a problem is with the dansguardian (content filter) access denied pages, which now show a "Connection to Server Closed Unexpectedly" error in Konqueror.

I have reported this dansguardian bug: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2567515&group_id=131757&atid=722098

It would be nice if konqueror was a little more tolerant here. (nice, but obviously not necessary. I'm sure this is mostly a server bug)
