Same problem here since KDE 4.3 too. Additional Information: I found the problem: the gzip-header of the page. The returned compressed page has an unexpected end of file. Steps to reproduce: wget --header="accept-encoding: gzip" http://www.vdr-portal.de/ -O output.test $ gunzip -v output.test gzip: output.test: unexpected end of file Is there any way for Konqueror to repair this gzipped content and display it correctly? Browsing this site on other browsers e.g. Firefox, Opera etc. works perfectly, so i think this is possible. works fine now with 4.6.4. Probably they fixed the server side ? Anyway, it works. (In reply to comment #3) > works fine now with 4.6.4. Probably they fixed the server side ? > Anyway, it works. The problem on www.vdr-portal.de is now fixed, because the forum software was updated on my request. The bug in Konqueror still exists and is reproducible with other forums running with Burning Board version 2.3.x. Examples: http://netboard.sunsonic.de/wbboard/ http://www.augustmamis-2001.de/mitglieder/wbb2a/hmportal.php http://www.deutzforum.de/ https://www.unitedangels.de/mads-eve/ Please have a look, thanks :) With the given URLs I can reproduce the problem with KDE 4.6.4 (although the pages look ok. Is it just that the error message should simply not be displayed ?) However, I assume the correct solution would be to fix the web servers sending illegal data... Thanks for the fast reply! (In reply to comment #5) > With the given URLs I can reproduce the problem with KDE 4.6.4 > (although the pages look ok. Is it just that the error message should simply > not be displayed ?) No, the resulting message is not the only problem. Look e.g. at https://www.unitedangels.de/mads-eve/ - The page is not fully rendered (Try it with any other browser like firefox, opera etc.) Posting threads in this forums seems also not possible. > However, I assume the correct solution would be to fix the web servers sending > illegal data... All Burning Board Forums 2.3.x has that gzip-bug. If Apache has already gzip compression enabled and the forum software compress that pages twice, corrupt gzip'ed pages are delivered. This bug is fixed in newer versions of Burning Board, but *any* older version than version 3 has this bug. So no one can use these forums in Konqueror. KDE and konqueror: 4.8.3 (kubuntu backports) I see the alert dialog, too, with the following URL http://www2.wetterspiegel.de/de/europa/deutschland/5.html IMHO it is correct, that the server should be fixed. But as the dialog is annoying for the user it would be fine, to just let not pop up the dialog. Instead a message could be printed to STDOUT or to any log file? Thanks, Gert Dear user, KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6. Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component. We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes. For security issues, please see: https://kde.org/info/security/ Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML. Greetings Christoph Cullmann |
