any ftp access is denied with the error message Access Denied, Additional Information: smb://ftp...

Steps to reproduce:
1) Manually specify an http proxy, any proxy works, does not even have to exist.
2) Type e.g. ftp://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov into the location bar of konquerer.

Comment 1 Micha 2009-06-04 15:18:43 UTC 
It works when removing the entry
ftpProxy=ftp://:8080
in the file ${KDEHOME}/share/config/kioslaverc 

Looks like a bug in the proxy setting/reading part or kioslave/ftp/ftp.cpp in the UseProxy logic
Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2009-06-16 19:17:49 UTC 
For me this issue exists since a *long* time. Whole 4.2 series at least, I would say.
Comment 3 Dennis Schridde 2009-06-16 19:19:53 UTC 
PS: I would recommend bumping Severity to blocker, since it makes FTP completely unusable.
(Without a proxy HTTP is unusably slow, so disabling the proxy is not an option.)
Comment 4 Dennis Schridde 2009-09-05 12:01:29 UTC 
This is still a MAJOR issue...

Don't save broken proxy URLs when no proxy is set.

If the passed proxy definition does not contain a hostname (because the config dialog's text field was left empty), do not save a broken proxy URL, but delete the corresponding config key instead.
Comment 9 Ingomar Wesp 2010-05-03 10:49:57 UTC 
Please have a look at the patch I just submitted. It partially fixes the issue as it avoids writing broken proxy URLs if the user leaves the text field for a particular proxy empty.

Unfortunately, this means that users that are affected by this bug need to open up their proxy settings and re-apply their configuration in order for this fix to take effect.
