In this rss feed (http://permanent.nouvelobs.com/rss_permanent.xml), when I open an article in HTML inside Akregator, the page never finish to load (the loading cursor is always there)
In Konqueror, the same page seems to be ok
Comment 1 Frank Osterfeld 2006-01-28 15:22:06 UTC
Confirmed.
Comment 2 Eckhart Wörner 2006-01-28 15:31:54 UTC
I can confirm that as well, but for me, the stop button in Konqueror does not get disabled either.
Comment 3 Frank Osterfeld 2006-01-28 15:44:32 UTC
Indeed, I just looked for the cursor... which isn't changed in konqueror at all.
Comment 4 Eckhart Wörner 2006-01-29 00:25:13 UTC
Reassigned to konqueror people as this is no Akregator specific problem.

Test in Konqueror e.g. with http://permanent.nouvelobs.com/politique/20060128.OBS4153.html.

Stripped-down testcase

Testcase shows that "refresh" meta tag causes this behaviour. Therefore this is
no "real" bug, but at least distracts the user. Perhaps there should be a
visible hint that the page will reload after the specified time.
Comment 6 Jaime Torres 2008-05-15 13:22:41 UTC
The stop button is not disabled in konqueror 4 trunk >= 20080507
Comment 7 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-06-09 20:07:50 UTC
The Stop button is not disabled exactly for the reason you specified here. When there is a pending redirection through the refresh meta-tag, Konqueror's STOP button is not disabled to allow you to cancel the pending redirection. This has been Konqueror's behavior for a very very long time. It is a visual queue to the user that there is still a pending redirection, which they can cancel. Unlike other browsers we actually give you the ability to cancel those annoying meta refresh requests. And since there is no other easier way to provide a visual queue to cancel a pending redirection, this behavior will not be changed.
