aaah, that's why, the Konqueror's offline mode.

I'll see what i can do.

why would konqueror's offline mode affect anything in kopete?

Bacause MSN use KIO::get to get the encrypted password to send trought the msn socket. (it's via ssl and https)

and so with konqueror in offline mode, KIO::get won't go out to the internet for anything? That seems rather stupid (from my POV, since Konq isn't the only one using KIO::get) and would seem to be like an kio or konqueror bug instead. (Which we should of course workaround until it actually gets fixed)

I need the help of someone which knows KIO.

I already tried this without succes
job->addMetaData("cache", "reload");
job->addMetaData("no-cache", "true");	

It's not possible to get KIO::get downloading something if konqueror is in offline mode. 

Setting to low priority, it's not verry important.

I've absolutely no idea how to fix it, i need some help.

I've tried everything, but i can't get it works.
it's probably a bug in kio or somewere in kdelibs.

resetting priorities from the ones we used in kopete (as an FYI)

This is not a bug in kio. It is an issue in kio_http. I do not know what Waldo intended with the "no-cache" meta-data since it is not directly used in kio_http. However, setting the "cache"  meta-data to "reload" should work fine. Can one of you kopete developers enable the debug area for kio_http (7103/7113) and see if the data comes from the cache even when you send the above meta-data ? You should see the following statement in the debug output:

"readBody: read data from cache!"...

Setting "no-cache" makes no sense at all, it is only used by kio_http to report back to the application the caching directive sent by the web-server.

job->addMetaData("cache", "reload") should work just fine though.

CVS commit by ogoffart: 

Fix the Bug 68483 (MSN unable to connect with Konqueror offline browsing mode)

It seems it didn't work because I forgot I had to insert meta data it twice :-s

Anyway, i still think than the message "The file or folder [url] doesn't exist" is not the correct message to show, even in konqueror.
