Bug 107377

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

Cookies served via (e.g.) images residing on a different domain to the document itself are ignored, regardless of Konqueror's 'Only accept cookies from originating server' and session cookie options - even though these cookies are not (IMHO) cross-domain cookies.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create a simple test webpage on one server (domain1.com/test.html) which references an image on another server (domain2.com/test.gif).
2. create the test image (domain2.com/test.gif) and set up (e.g., for apache) mod_rewrite to set a cookie for domain2.com when serving the image.
3. visit domain1.com/test.html.

Actual behaviour:
No cookie is set.

Expected behaviour:
A cookie from domain2.com should appear in the Configure Konqueror -> Cookies -> Management section.  (Depending on the user's cookie configuration; I have tested & confirmed with a new, unconfigured account.)

Notes:
If the image resides on the same server as the document (e.g., domain1.com/test.html references domain1.com/test.gif), the cookie is properly set for domain1.com, as expected.

I understand that this behaviour may in fact be intentional (since I guess it's a way for unscrupulous tracking companies to do business) - but IMHO it should be controlled by the 'Only accept cookies from originating server' setting or a similar setting.
