If I click the stop button half way through loading, I don't get the redirect. How to reproduce: 1. Go to http://arstechnica.com/ 2. Wait for the page to load 3. Get redirected to http://arstechnica.com/mt-static/plugins/ArsTheme/scripts/ad-loader-frame.html?req=http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/ars.dart/homepage;abr=!webtv;mtfIFPath=/mt-static/plugins/ArsTheme/ad-campaigns/doubleclick/;tile=2;sz=300x250;kw=top;kw=premium-adset;ord=20297064827893424 Expected behaviour: 1. ars homepage appears I contacted ars support and they claim it is an issue of your side, they suggested that the following open bugs also relate to a similar problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187648 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159028 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159352
Cannot reproduce this bug using KDE 4.3.77. It looks it has been fixed. Someone could confirm?
I can confirm it is also working OK here using: Qt: 4.6.0 (kde-qt master commit 747ff8e6ef6f5a1163dfa75bc9ac4755ce7083d1 Date: Tue Dec 15 11:58:13 2009 +0100) KDE Development Platform: 4.3.86 (KDE 4.3.86 (KDE 4.4 >= 20091231)) kdelibs svn rev. 1069096 / kdebase svn rev. 1069104 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.31.6 with a clean environment. (empty KDEHOME, default configs)
It just happened to me, up to date kioslave/http and khtml (r1070012)
I get behaviour similar, but that is because I block doubleclick.com and Ars loads a "dartframe", a page on doubleclick.com which then loads the desired ars page.
Bug 193362 seems to describe the same issue. Maybe it is useful to close either this report or the other as a duplicate? In any case, it still happens for me, with Konqueror 4.4.1 on openSUSE 11.2 x86-64, using Qt 4.6.2. I have Flash (64-bit) installed, but plugins disabled by default (and no exception for Ars). I have cookies disabled by default, but temporarily enabling them did not fix the problem. I do not use ad blocking nor any specific settings for doubleclick.net.
