Bug 110419

The feed's URL should (and will, if the server admins aren't completely nuts) indicate if HTTP or HTTPS (SSL) is required.

And by the way: I definitely would like to see that feature, too! :-)

Yep, Akregator should support authentication better. Right now it's broken. It only works when you logged in for the site in konqueror. If you are not logged in, fetching just fails.

Somehow related to Bug 130529.

When I try to load a feed that requires authentication (LiveJournal for example) and I am NOT logged in via Konqueror, Akregator throws a SIGSEVG and loads up the KDE Crash Handler. This can be easily replicated if anyone needs to see the traceback.

David: Yes, a backtrace would be useful. Please also tell us your Akregator version and general KDE(libs) version. Do you use "load the full website when reading articles" option for the feed in question?
I am aware that it doesn't work, but crashes were never reported.

I am using Akregator 1.2.6 on KDE 3.5.6 on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p3

I do use the load full website option. A test to see what happens with that 
option unchecked properly got a 403 Forbidden error when I click on the "full 
story" link.

The traceback is below. I hope it proves helpful.

*** Bug 150075 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
