Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: RedHat RPMs Favicon can't be downloaded through a proxy with authentication by "Kded Favicon Module" because It ask a "no-auth" access. This is specified in kdebase/libkonq/favicons/favicons.cpp: d->metaData.insert("no-auth", "true"); It should be removed or configurable. An other solution is to use no-auth metaData for "401 Authorization Required" only and not for "407 Proxy Authentication Required" In that case this Bugs report should be forwarded to http kio_slave.
Message from the Bugsquad and Konqueror teams: This bug is closed as outdated, as we do not have the manpower to maintain the KDE3 version anymore. If you still can reproduce this issue with Konqueror 4.8.4 or later, please open a new report. Thank you for your understanding.
This is still a valid bug in KDE 4 and needs to be fixed.
