Description Leo Savernik 2004-01-07 15:46:40 UTC

The up button provides a wonderful way to effectively remove the last path 
element from an url, even for web pages, which makes navigating through 
well-structured documents a joy. 
 
Though, when the url contains a query string, the first invocation of the up 
button does not remove the last path element, but removes the query string 
instead. Only after that has happened, path elements can be removed. 
 
Steps to reproduce: 
1. Go to 
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/khtml/?sortby=date#dirlist 
2. Press up button 
 
Expected results: 
Url should read: 
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/?sortby=date#dirlist 
 
Actual results: 
Url reads: 
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/khtml/#dirlist 
 
I'm not 100% sure whether this is a valid bug as there might be a certain 
cause why the query string is removed. If there is one, please enlighten me.

I would like to invite all visitors of this bug to comment on my proposal in
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93192

confirming for 3.4.0.
I'm not 100% what the behaviour should be but I do believe the current behaviour is incorrect.

Here's my 2 cents.

What should the behaviour for the up button be for the URL:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72062#c1 ?

Currently the behaviour is to go to:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi#c1
http://bugs.kde.org/

The bug reporter thinks that the behaviour should be:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi#c1
I don't see the point of going to #c1 because the likelihood of that link being valid is small.

My opinion is that the behaviour should be:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72062
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi
http://bugs.kde.org/

No! I do not! The query string is the part of the url after the question mark. 
What I mean is:

http://cvs/cgi-bin/cvsweb/triangle/?only_with_tag=TRIANGLE_STORY_5
http://cvs/cgi-bin/cvsweb/?only_with_tag=TRIANGLE_STORY_5
http://cvs/cgi-bin/?only_with_tag=TRIANGLE_STORY_5

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
