Description Andrey Cherepanov 2007-01-15 07:54:55 UTC

Version:           1.2.4 (using KDE 3.5.4, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-5mdv

I subscribe to http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/feed. But all images from this feed failed to open. There is in Konqueror the are opened correctly.

Tested this with 1.2.5 and found out that images with absolute urls work - but not images with relative urls.

according to this validator:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kdedevelopers.org%2Fblog%2Ffeed
"line 123, column 0: description should not contain relative URL references:"
relatvei urls are not valid.

imho this should be fixed server-side.

btw: planetkde.org-feeds do work - the img-urls are absolute there.

Yes, using xml:base in RSS is debatable, especially in escaped HTML.
I mark this as a duplicate of 117478, which requests xml:base support for Atom - which is slightly different though, as the Atom spec explicitely supports xml:base.
