Description Phillip 2008-06-28 01:36:35 UTC
Version:           1.2.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

If you try to add a feed to akregator using a feed://-style URI, like feed://example.com/sample.xml, then akregator tries to download http:////example.com/sample.xml, which fails.

The "subscribe to this feed" button in Firefox uses feed:// URIs, so it can't be used with akregator directly... my current workaround is a shell script that replaces "feed:" with "http:" in the URI before running akregator, and using that script as the feed handler in Firefox.

This happens even using current trunk (~KDE4.1-beta2).
Comment 2 Aurélien COUDERC 2009-02-22 18:03:04 UTC
The bug still happens in KDE 4.2 (Akregator 1.4.0)
