Description Grósz Dániel 2024-11-09 00:51:07 UTC 
SUMMARY
If a file name (that doesn't currently exist) is specified without any slashes as the destination of a copy or move command, kioclient tries and fails to upload the source file to a HTTP URL instead of interpreting it as a relative path in the current directory, as likely expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. touch a
2. (make sure no file named b exists in the current directory)
3. kioclient copy a b

OBSERVED RESULT
kioclient: An unexpected error (0) occurred while attempting to upload http://b.

EXPECTED RESULT
Equivalent to cp a b.

Of course there's little point in using kioclient to copy local files, but the same happens if the source is a URL.
