Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources In 4.3.4 entering "man:ls" or "info:ls" opened the man or info page in konqueror. In 4.3.85 (4.4. beta2) this no longer works and simply does nothing. I noted that "man:/ls" or "info:/ls" works, but I was used to the shorter "man:ls" syntax, which is still working when entered directly into konqueror addressbar, so it's obviously a regression.
man:foo URLs now come up as a UnknownContext for Plasma::RunnerContext::type() instead of NetworkContext (which seems to have been what would have worked before). Maybe something in the plasma libraries themselves changed to make that happen?
Created attachment 39729 [details] Fix bug by checking for network addresses before using the more stringent path checks This is my proposed fix.
