Description Larry Johnson 2012-10-14 17:59:49 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #171368 +++

Version:           4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1) (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-16-generic

Quite often, konqueror displays a message about having detected a cyclic link. That would be fine if it was the actual case, but other browsers such as firefox or konqueror from KDE 3 show those pages fine.

Comment 1 Larry Johnson 2012-10-14 18:04:38 UTC
when opening : "https://docs.google.com/" I get the following error message:

The requested operation could not be completed
Cyclic Link Detected

Details of the Request:
URL: https://drive.google.com/#
Protocol: https
Date and Time: Sunday 14 October 2012 11:00
Additional Information: https://drive.google.com/DocAction?action=unsupported_browser#
Description:
UNIX environments are commonly able to link a file or folder to a separate name and/or location. KDE detected a link or series of links that results in an infinite loop - i.e. the file was (perhaps in a roundabout way) linked to itself.
Possible Solutions:
Delete one part of the loop in order that it does not cause an infinite loop, and try again.
Contact your appropriate computer support system, whether the system administrator, or technical support group for further assistance.

----------
This link opens properly with Google Chrome and Firefox 16.0.1

All of those links open just fine for me using Konqueror with either one of the browser engines. Though I am using kdelibs 4.10 branch, I do not see any differences between the two branches that would account for this bug. Before proclaiming this is a distro specific issue, I want to see if someone on a completely different distro with KDE 4.9.2 can reproduce this issue.

I'ts been a long time since I experienced this problem, and I do not have problems with the two links in this report either.

Are you using distro supplied packages ? If so, what distro are you using ?
Comment 5 Larry Johnson 2012-10-16 00:16:20 UTC
ArchLinux x86_64.  I notice that docs.google.com redirects to drive.google.com.  I would guess this fools the cyclic test.
Comment 6 Larry Johnson 2012-10-16 23:59:47 UTC
So today I tried it, got the google login, then got this:

Comment 7 Dawit Alemayehu 2012-12-09 15:49:48 UTC
There must be something else at play here because I use ArchLinux x86_64 as well and I cannot reproduce this using the distro supplied packages. I never get the aforementioned error message for either one of those links. Which browser engine are you using ? khtml or webkit ?
