Version: 1.0.80 (using KDE 4.5.5) OS: Linux When you try to open the MSN service availability Web site, Kopete opens "http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx". Microsoft has changed the location of that page (without providing a correct redirect): the URL should be now "https://status.live.com/detail/messenger". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up an MSN Messenger account in Kopete and log in. 2. Right-click on the Kopete tray icon and choose "<MSN account name>->Open MSN service status site..." Actual Results: The browser opens the URL "http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx"; the Microsoft server redirects the request to "http://explore.live.com/windows-live-messenger?os=other" (a Messenger promotional page). Expected Results: The browser opens the MSN Messenger service status page. 1. The new correct URL for the Messenger status page is "https://status.live.com/detail/messenger". Microsoft also provides a page containing the status of all Live services at "https://status.live.com/". 2. If the code has not changed since the "Open MSN service status site" menu item has been added (see bug 108803), the function that needs to be fixed is "void MSNAccount::slotOpenStatus()" in "msnaccount.cpp" (see the original patch: http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=11741).
