Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 OS: Linux Original link in a RSS feed like /2007/04/08/tur-i-ufyselig-v%c3%a6r/ is shown as /2007/04/11/overværsøk/ in Kakregator, so visiting the link as displayed will give a 404 at the site you're visiting. Encoded chars like %c3 within the URL should be kept intact, not transformed (Kakregator really shouldn't try to change the URL given in the RSS feed at all?)
I've also run into this problem during development. It re-encodes the URL which causes issues accessing the URL. For example, URL as present in LINK tag: http://dev-nutechpark.vipasuite.com/partial/content-type/application%2Fatom%2Bxml/news/FdxbQVIpg543,bx327,bx329,cb870?FeedType=atom_1_0 URL Akregator tries to use: http://dev-nutechpark.vipasuite.com/partial/content-type/application%252Fatom%252Bxml/news/FdxbQVIpg543,bx327,bx329,cb870%3FFeedType=atom_1_0 Since there is no longer a query part to the URL because the question mark was escaped, the "Akregator" URL isn't valid.
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
