(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: knewsticker Version: 2.2.x (Originally submitted to the Debian BTS by Marcin Gozdalik <gozdal@gozdal.eu.org> as Bug#110176) These are actually 2 bugs: 1) KNewsTicker does not understand Content-Encoding: gzip for example. I came across it when I was debugging why the hell freshmeat.net news wasn't displaying correctly. It turned out that freshmeat.net server understands Accept-Encoding: deflate gzip blah blah KNewsTicker is sending and gzips the data prior to sending it. However KNewsTicker overlooks Content-Encoding: gzip thinks it got some garbage from the server and shows "No articles available" 2) It does not correctly react to HTTP Moved permanently message. This one was generated by jabber.org server using the standard URL that came with KNewsTicker. I think it should pop up some dialogbox asking "Do you want to update the URL in preferences?" or just silently update it. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux master 2.4.8 #1 Thu Aug 16 00:07:51 CEST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL LC_CTYPE=pl_PL Versions of packages knewsticker depends on: ii kdebase 4:2.2.0.20010822-1 KDE core applications ii kdelibs3 4:2.2.0-final-3 KDE core libraries (runtime files) ii libc6 2.2.4-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libjpeg62 6b-1.3 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkdenetwork1 4:2.2.0-final-1 Common libraries needed for KDE ne ii libpng2 1.0.12-2 PNG library - runtime ii libqt2 2:2.3.1-8 Qt GUI Library (runtime version). ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2. 1:2.95.4-0.010825 The GNU stdc++ library ii xlibs 4.1.0-2 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.3-15 compression library - runtime
Hi the reported problems are only partially KNewsTicker's fault. ;-) 1.) KDE applications don't care about Content-Encoding (and shouldn't have to) since the KIO slaves which are used to retrieve the data from the network decompress (and preprocess in general) the data on the fly. This might be merely a malfunction of the HTTP KIO slave try opening the file (the source file you specified in the configuration that is) with Konqueror to check whether it breaks as well. If it does it's probably a KIO problem. 2.) Moved Permanently should indeed be supported by KNewsTicker. The problem is that the current KIO API only provides a relatively generic 'redirect' signal which appears to be inappropriate in this case as we only care about 'permanent' redirects. I think KIO itself needs to be adjusted in this case CC'ing the corresponding KDE list. - Frerich )øCG¨Z;A¨EG
