Description Marco Martin 2014-05-14 15:14:02 UTC

a call like
KIO::file_copy(source, destination, -1, KIO::Overwrite | KIO::HideProgressInfo)
where source is a walis http url pointing to a file and destination a valid local file url
will not cirrectly: sometimes the job will transfer something then get stuck, sometimes it will immediately terminate leaving an empty local file.

to easily try it, 
kioclient5 copy http://opendesktop.org/CONTENT/content-files/165238-SwissGuard.jpg file:///tmp/foo.jpg

or happening also in plasmashell, when trying to get a wallpaper from gethotnewstuff, the install operation will always fail (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332499)
I tracked down that bug down to knewstuff/src/core/installation.cpp line 206
KIO::FileCopyJob *job = KIO::file_copy(source, destination, -1, KIO::Overwrite | KIO::HideProgressInfo);
does not correctly download the file.

if i put a debug statement in void FileCopyJobPrivate::slotData(KIO::Job *, const QByteArray &data)
I see that an arbitrary quantity of data chunks arrive, then the transfer gets stuck.


Reproducible: Always

And even if it manages to download file then it have wrong time stamp..

Comment 2 Bhushan Shah 2014-05-26 11:44:28 UTC

I can confirm that.. KDeclarative uses KIO NetworkAccessManager. So in plasma mediacenter shell package not all thumbnails are loaded. http://bhush9.github.io/images/mediabrowser-youtube.png

If I remove usage of KIO then it works fine.. looks like problem in kio http slave.
