Bug 166941

Hello,

Thank you for your report. I am unable to reproduce the bug. Can you provide more details? At which step of the login process does it fail? Thanks

After putting the account into in on the left, verifying the site key image (which is after the security question) and then typing password and clicking login. It is then that it fails to work.

I too am unable to reproduce this bug in SVN r833529.

Why not try in RC 1?

Also, do you have a bank of america online banking account?

i get this problem with KDE-4.0.99 on citibank.be
This was all working ok on 4.0.85, but stopped working this week with 4.0.98.


http://www.citibank.be/home.asp?lang=en

click on the Login -> Citibank Online   (top right corner of screen)

Recently, this button has popped up an intermediate screen with warnings about security.

Now it says:

The requested operation could not be completed
Cyclic Link Detected

Description:
UNIX environments are commonly able to link a file or folder to a separate name and/or location. KDE detected a link or series of links that results in an infinite loop - i.e. the file was (perhaps in a roundabout way) linked to itself.

I am getting the same error message on www.filmstarts.de, if there are some special characters in the links from the news section ("Nachrichten") of that site.
This error occurred with KDE4.0, KDE4.1 and actual kde-nightly. 
Here is an example url (encoded by Konqueror 4.X):
http://www.filmstarts.de/nachrichten/133495-%FDThe-Dark-Knight%FD-Ist-%FDbesonders-wertvoll%FD-.html

The link is encoded in firefox this way:
http://www.filmstarts.de/nachrichten/133495-%84The-Dark-Knight%93-Ist-%84besonders-wertvoll%93-.html

These types of links are working with Firefox (2.X and 3.0) and Konqueror from KDE3.5.

Don't know, if the site does something wrong of if that is a problem of KURL, KHTML, KIO or Konqueror.

i have similar problems when logging in opensuse forums. both konqueror 3 and 4 are affected (kubuntu, opensuse). i can browse the forums while not logged in, but as soon as i try to log in i get a cyclic link error.

i have to remove opensuse forums cookies to be able to browse this site again (being not logged in...)

I can confirm that the Link of Ludger is not working with Konqueror 4.1
Also here is another Link with same error message: http://www.ftd.de/politik/deutschland/426306.html?nv=cd-topnews
Works fine with firefox3

Same here with trunk and 4.1 branch.

http://www.ftd.de/ typically has many links containing umlauts.

Parts are likely a dupe of bug #171368, however separate comments may have totally different causes. Each requires a separate analysis.

Created attachment 28798 [details]
wireshark trace of borken http GETs

US-B%EF%BF%BDrsen-B%EF%BF%BDrenmarktrally in the URL requested is US-Börsen-Bärenmarktrally, to which the server responds with a HTTP 301 Moved Permanently:
 
Location: /boersen_maerkte/aktien/marktberichte/:US-B%F6rsen-B%E4renmarktrally-dank-Citigroup/442863.html\r\n

However the following request reverts to the broken encoding used initially.

Still present in KDE 4.2.2 (QT 4.5)

I can not reproduce this anymore on KDE 4.2.3 (QT4.5.1).

I can confirm that this bug is still present in KDE 4.3.5 when trying to login to online banking here: https://online.westpac.com.au/esis/Login/SrvPage?referrer=http://www.westpac.com.au/personal-banking/

I'm pretty sure that this bug appeared as far back as 3.5.10 because I remember online banking working one day and then not working the next.  Sorry about not reporting it way back then.  :)
