And if kio-http not work the same apply for akregator and the other.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Shut down Network Manager
2. Setup network connectivity manually.
3. Try to get something with kio-http, update Akregator RSS etc.



This bug affects all software that use kio-http/s
Akregator is just one example.

I use a lot of complex network setups and network manager is extreme pain in my ass.

I do some gdb stuff and it looks like that in:
http.cpp:1916

> m_networkConfig->isOnline() 
return incorrectly false.

I've write some stub program with QNetworkConfigurationManager->isOnline() but it works perfectly fine.

I think this is expected. We rely on network manager to handle connections for us. If it's not running, it can't do the work we need it to do. If you have issues with network manager that make it painful to use, please report them upstream.
