Description Pedro de Carvalho Gomes 2008-10-01 05:43:40 UTC 
Version:           4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080828)) "release 52.2" (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080828)) "release 52.2", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25.16-0.1-default

Whenever I login to Orkut, then I try to go to any community I am subscribed to, konqueror sends me back to my profile page. I use the default browser identification for Konqueror.

How to reproduce:
1 - Subscribe to Orkut: http://www.orkut.com
2 - Login to Orkut and subscribe to any community.
3 - Try to go to the community page. One example is the link below:
http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#Community.aspx?cmm=162218

The same does not happen to the followin versions of Mozilla and Opera:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; pt-BR; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070400 SUSE/3.0.1-0.1 Firefox/3.0.1

Opera
Version: 9.52
Build: 2091
Platform: Linux System x86_64, 2.6.25.16-0.1-default
Qt library: 3.3.8b
Java: No Java Runtime Environment installed

The same happens when I go to photoalbum, notepad, videos and when I click on friends' profile
Comment 2 Maksim Orlovich 2008-10-06 20:39:42 UTC 
Likely due to the weird URLs they use...
Comment 3 Romário Rios 2009-02-07 08:49:57 UTC 
The same happens with Konq 4.2.0

This may be useful information to solve the bug:
"This maybe because it uses iframes, and the links have %3F, instead of ?. For example:
 http://www.orkut.com.br/Main#Profile.asp...4600932215
 This is a link for a profile. But, in Konqueror, Profile.aspx%3Fuid=... is used instead of Profile.aspx?uid=...
 Then, when I click in the link, I come back to the homepage."
"The same question mark thing happens in Facebook too. When I click any of the tabs in Facebook home, it shows the page for a second, then redirects to Facebook error page. And in the url bar there is a %3F instead of the question mark."

FWIW, UA-spoof as Firefox in facebook, and those sorts of issues will disappear.
Comment 6 Cayafas 2009-03-15 03:39:07 UTC 
UA-Spoofing doesn't help. And replacing %3F by ? in the link does work, so that seems to be the entire issue. Of course, the next link you click will be %3F again, so it isn't much use.
Comment 7 Maksim Orlovich 2009-04-03 18:11:00 UTC 
Looks fixed by the URL-encoding change dfaure did for facebook...
