Description Thomas Baumann 2004-12-02 09:48:57 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

KHTML starts a new KIO-instance for each webresource (tested on images, probably any resource) of a HTML-Page. Every KIO-Job seems to resolve the DNS-Name for itself.

This causes KHTML to fetch images from different servers on websites, which have multiple servers running with one domainname. I tested this with tcpdump. KHTML definetly fetches the stuff from different servers.

This is problematic, if you i.e. have an image which is actually a script storing some data into a session. You cannot refer to that data on the server where the html-page is running. I'm using this for a bot-protection-image. Unfortunatly konqueror-users will not be able to pass my bot-protection.

You can test that issue with the "handy-special" on www.kostenlos.de. Look for free-sms on the bottom of the special. Unfortunalty this site is open at around 18:00 and 19:00 CET only.

ok, hope you can reproduce the bug.

Thanks for your great work anyway. Konqueror is still my favourite browser ;))

bye,
Thomas
