Description Hp News 2001-01-01 16:22:25 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: konqueror
Version: 2.0
Severity: normal
Installed from: downloaded Source installed on SuSE 6.3

On http://www.bonn.de/rathaus/ there is a link on the left called "Wegweiser". The HTML-Source of this link is
<A HREF="//bos.bonn.de/bos/index.asp">

That means it´s a link without prefix "http:" but not a relative one because of "//".

Netscape interprets this like there was prefix "http:" and so connects to the right site
http://bos.bonn.de/bos/index.asp

Konqueror interprets this link like it was relative so it unsuccessfully tries to connect to
http://www.bonn.de/bos.bonn.de/bos/index.asp

Whether such a link is incorrect or not Netscape´s way seems to be better. I´ve often seen Konqueror trying to connect to such strange URLs like http://server1/server2/path...
But because now it was the first time that I then read the Sourcecode I can give you only this example

Hello

This has already been fixed and should be there for KDE 2.1.
Thanks for the report.
