Version: 3.5.3 (using KDE 3.5.3 Level "a" , unofficial build of SUSE ) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.10-default when i go to http://www.megatokyo.de/?id=106 with konqueror from kde 3.5.3, i get the "redirect loop" error as described in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61235 but strange enough it happens only when the redirect target contains german umlauts. here's the curl -I output for that url: HTTP/1.1 302 Found X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.4 Set-Cookie: MegaTokyoID=AURpLCwiAfE=; expires=Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:36:38 GMT; path=/ Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8 Content-Language: de Location: http://www.megatokyo.de/comic/de0106/ping-das-ps2-zubehör Content-Length: 0 Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 19:36:38 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.11 Connection: close
needless to mention, the redirected urls where this happens ALL have german umlauts in their Location: fields, and they all work just fine with firefox, mozilla, and even (*GASP*) internet explorer...
same happens for redirects with italian accented characters, see http://www.megatokyo.de/?id=862&lang=it to watch it happen. and since we're running lots of languages where accented or otherwise "special" characters on that website, its rather annoying for linux users.
Let us put the test case from http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61235 here: http://www.megatokyo.it/k-bug.php is a testcase. It seems to be related to KURL. Let see what the unit testing in KURL tells us about this...
