SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Deploy a Owncload instance *refusing* a connection on a certain IP range.
2. Create an Owncloud connection using KDE's System Settings > Online Accounts. Run this from a client within the refused network range (in my case an OpenVPN network range).
3. Provide the connection details in the popup window.

OBSERVED RESULT
The spinner will run endlessly, and commandline output will also endlessly spew out a connection error:
Checking for ownCloud instance at QUrl("https://cloud.lan.pohw.nl/status.php")
"Kon geen verbinding maken met host cloud.lan.pohw.nl: Connection refused."
"cloud.lan.pohw.nl: Connection refused"
Received url to figure out: QUrl("https://cloud.lan.pohw.nl/status.php")
Checking for ownCloud instance at QUrl("https://cloud.lan.pohw.nl/status.php")
"Kon geen verbinding maken met host cloud.lan.pohw.nl: Connection refused."
"cloud.lan.pohw.nl: Connection refused"
Received url to figure out: QUrl("https://cloud.lan.pohw.nl/status.php")
Checking for ownCloud instance at QUrl("https://cloud.lan.pohw.nl/status.php")
"Kon geen verbinding maken met host cloud.lan.pohw.nl: Connection refused."
"cloud.lan.pohw.nl: Connection refused"



EXPECTED RESULT
A human interface error message stating a connection error. After acknowledging the error to return to the Online Accounts interface.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

After further experimentation it seems a more generic problem. For instance it also happens when I fill in a non-existing host name.
