Description Andreas Cord-Landwehr 2015-11-02 19:36:07 UTC
"Settings -> QtHelp Documentation -> Get New Documentation" leads to a KNewStuff dialog that presents a "Network error. (0)". I also tested it with KDevelop 4.7.1 and get the same behavior, yet with a different error (probably the error messages changes when KNewStuff become a framework?)
After looking a little bit into the problem, I could imagine that this is a problem related to all GHNS urls still using "http" instead of "https" (I think I recall some sysadmin notification from some time ago that everything switched to http?).
Yet, for digging deeper into the problem, probably someone with access to  https://collect.kde.org/kdevelop-qthelp/providers.xml is needed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Phew, no idea.

I just switched to https://collect.kde.org/kdevelop-qthelp/providers.xml in the qthelp plugin, however, still getting the network error.

Maybe Gregor knows more? He's been the last person working on kns3...

First, I can confirm, with kdevelop 4.7.1 I get the message "Unknown Open Collaboration Service API error. (0)".

Secondly, sorry, I was working on KMoreTools which is different area of KNewStuff.

Fix redirection of absolut Urls

Redirection only worked with relative urls. Yet, e.g. the http to https
redirection on KDE servers uses absolute paths, which resulted in an
empty url, since the reply attribute was not relative.

This patch adds a case distinction for redirecting absolute and relative
paths.
