Description John van Spaandonk 2003-03-04 09:45:50 UTC

Version:           3.1.0 (using KDE_3_1_BRANCH through Mandrake Cooker) (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 mandrake cooker
OS:          Linux

The problem description is very simple.
http://www.mplayerhq.hu displays an empty page in konqueror.
The page is very simple, it's just a redirect:

<<HTML>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu/homepage/">
</HTML>

So the above meta-tag does not seem to work in Konqueror.
Manually entering the URL reference works.
(although again you see an empty page: there is another
redirection construct there. The redirections currently
lead to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design5/news.html)

The problem occurs in more and more webpages.

Other test cases:
www.nos.nl
www.maxtor.com

These all have a simple start page with the 
same redirection construct with the META tag.
All testcases work fine in Mozilla 1.3.
Damn! :-)
