Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 4.2 OS: Linux KDE4 recent SVN: When visiting a LiveJournal friend page (for example, http://deskitty.livejournal.com/friends ), Konqueror reports a cyclic link. Every other web browser I've tested (including Konqi 3.5) seems fine with this page.
Can't confirm... How recent is 'recent'?
A day or two. You may need to be logged in to a LiveJournal account for it to break. Next time I'm in a KDE4 session I'll do some experimentation to see.
I can't reproduce this anymore, either logged in or logged out. Perhaps it got fixed very recently. (I just updated a couple hours ago.)
This bug has reappeared. (I last updated SVN within the past hour.) You have to be logged in to LiveJournal, and visiting a user's page (e.g. http://deskitty.livejournal.com/ ). It works fine if you are viewing a user's page as an anonymous user.
this happened to me once when I had a botched cookie daemon. Check if it says something like "can't talk to cookie daemon" when you go to: Settings > Cookies if so try launching kcookiejar4 and see if it fix things.
I'm suffering from the same issue with a day or so old copy of KDE4 svn trunk. The cookie daemon is definitely running - Settings > Cookies is showing up and cookies work on other sites. I've taken a look at the requests with Wireshark. The user page 302 redirects to http://www.livejournal.com/misc/get_domain_session.bml, which then redirects to /__setdomsess on the subdomain with various parameters. This sets a "ljsession" session cookie for the subdomain and 302 redirects back to the original URL. However, the cookie doesn't seem to stick - the request for the original URL uses a non-session cookie with the same name set on ".livejournal.com" instead. I suspect that, if you want to reproduce this, it may help to check "Remember me" when logging in to Livejournal.
Created attachment 22929 [details] patch. Uff. This was hard. Had to go through kcookiejar, kio-http, khtml, kparts, and finally kio proper to find it. The problem is how KIO::SlaveBase::config() works... In 4.x, it's a normal KConfig object which gets updated on handling of CMD_META_DATA and CMD_CONFIG. The problem is that it removes old entries using mIncomingMetaData when new ones come in, but that can be cleared in e.g. ::finished(). The attached clears the config version in sync. The actual failure scenario here was this: 1. Open livejournal.com... that sends a bunch of requests with cross-domain annotation of livejournal.com in cross-domain metadata. 2. Open accountname.livejournal.com/friends via BrowserRun, which opens up a new job to try to get the mimetype. 3. The old slave, gets new metadata set, but by now it has forgotten it has cross-domain set via metadata from the previous request, so the setting sticks around. Cookies get handled with requirement of domain name www.livejournal.com and not the accurate one. Big ouch, which the patch addresses. That marks them as "Cross Domain" in cookie jar, which coincidentally can't parse those at all, it skips over 1 too many chars in makeCookies, making "Set-Cookie:" into "et-Cookie:". But that's a different bug, which I am not ready to address, since I'd need to brush up on the policy here.. I recall some BRs related to that, however.
Ugh. I am not sure this is 100% correct, either, since presumably there can be overlap between metadata and config. We should probably just rebuild the entire thing, cascading them properly the way SlaveBase::metaData does. That's what it pulled from in 3.x on demand, anyway. It's too late in the evening for me too touch this now, though...
Wow, thank you so much for going to all the trouble of tracking this down. Is the patch ready for testing? If so, I'll apply it to my tree and see if it fixes the problem.
Created attachment 22943 [details] better patch This should be better, and keep things fully in sync... And to the reporter: bugs like these are part of the fun :-)
SVN commit 759473 by orlovich: Make sure that ->config() doesn't end up with stale metadata. Fixes e.g. infinite looping on LiveJournal friends page, and heaven knows what else. BUG: 153538 M +24 -15 slavebase.cpp M +1 -0 slavebase.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=759473
This is now in the 4.0 branch, and I'd definitely appreciate testing --- something else may be wrong, I feel, I've had some sporadic difficulties logging in, e.g. (Not yet in 4.1/trunk branch..)
