Description foobars.droid 2023-04-07 15:41:56 UTC

I went through the code with my limited knowledge of KDE and C++ and can't see anywhere where a https connection would be made.
Examples: (Mine and someone elses)
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/12eljf4/kio_http_cache_cleaner_connection_to_random_ip/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/vs8m4g/kio_http_cache_cleaner_odd_behavior/
Is it related to kde feedback?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Am unable to, its not even running as a process at the moment.

EXPECTED RESULT
Not to make connections to external IPs


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
kio_http_cache_cleaner version: 5.0
