Bug 166788

Thanks for the report. Is this still reproducible with Konqueror 4.1? And if yes, could you provide a link to a problematic page or any other information that might help to reproduce the bug?

Hi, I haven't seen exactly the same error message with Konqueror from KDE4.1. I have seen a message saying that there was a connection problem, which has appeared immediately after clicking on a link, but not the same as the one I describe above (not with any timeout info). This has e.g. happened several times on bugs.kde.org (e.g. when clicking on the "Continue" buttons in the bug reporting wizard). I guess a lot of the bugs.kde.org users are using a brand new konqueror, so if nobody else has reported the original problem may have been fixed, and the error messages I have seen later may have been coming from some network problem between me and the outside world.

I'm closing this report. Tourquil, please reopen if you find a way to reproduce the bug. Thanks!

Just to confirm that I've been seeing this bug with Konqueror in KDE4 through to KDE 4.4.1 (just downloading the Ubuntu packages for KDE 4.4.2) and I've stumbled across a site that has done it three times in a row.  It works perfectly in Firefox.  I also get the same issue in Konqueror trying to sign in on the front page once I have signed up in Firefox.

Trying to sign up for a (free) Pixelpipe account here:

https://pixelpipe.com/signup

I get the following timeout error within about 2-3 seconds on hitting the "Sign Up" button.

Please can this bug be reopened and investigated ?

Ironically I got the same timeout error when clicking on the link back to this bug from the output of the process_bug.cgi link from submitting that last message, again within just a second or two of clicking.

This is KDE 4.4.1 on and an Intel AMD64 (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz) Kubuntu 9.10 using the Kubuntu PPA for the latest release (still downloading 4.4.2).

I can confirm this bug still exists in KDE 4.4.2.
