Description Janet 2009-09-21 17:58:07 UTC
Version:           4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-0.slh.3-sidux-686

Everytime I try to log into my gmx.net webemail account with konqueror (opera, firefox = fine) I'm automatically logged out instantly with a "timeout"-message (which normally is activated when there's no activity for three hours). It doesn't help to change the useragent.
Comment 1 Janet 2009-09-21 18:04:27 UTC
Konqueror shows an error message in the status bar:
"http://service.gmx.net/de/cgi/g.fcgi/products/mail/overview2?mc=gmx_hp@home@meingmx.gmx_produkte@home@mo2: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: ActiveXObject"
Comment 2 matt 2009-09-27 15:32:43 UTC
same for me - i think this appeared as gmx integrated their new Top-Bar.
Comment 3 Leander 2009-09-28 13:27:27 UTC
I've got this problem with KDE3.5.5 (OpenSuse 11.1) too :(
Comment 4 Thomas Haenig 2009-10-26 15:23:32 UTC
same behaviour here - OpenSuSE 11.1, konqueror/KDE 3.5.10, at least one other web page login besides gmx didn't work either, but I don't remember which
Comment 5 Janet 2009-11-01 14:21:26 UTC
So it doesn't seem to work with *any* konqueror version anymore since GMX did "something". Is this mentioned top bar an ActiveX object?

FYI: I can log into my account using the following link when at the same time konqueror is masked as Safari:

http://portal.gmx.net/de/dienst/index.html

But I cannot use the standard login on the main page and even when logged in via the portal link I cannot see attached pictures, instead I also get the timeout message (though I stay logged in).
Comment 6 Tanja Schulte 2009-11-07 15:18:32 UTC
It doesn't seem to be a konqueror problem but poor gmx policy: when I change the konqueror user agent to Safari 3.2 for the *three* domains gmx.de, gmx.net and ui-portal.de I can login via the gmx main page as before - please test. The succinct answer of the gmx support: use internet explorer or firefox, we only support conventional browsers.
