Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) OS: Linux When using Shift-Leftclick on a link -or- Rightclick-SaveAs on an image that is already displayed, there is no referrer being sent by Konqueror, so that certain sites deliver an error page instead of the real content.
And the konqueror sends no referrer with <Crtl> + "left mouse click". I have to use always the right mouse button popup menu to open a link with referrer. This is very annoying on referrer-protected image galleries. :-(

Klaus, can you specify an url along with instructions on which this bug can be reproduced?
There are several sites that look for the Referer line to reject downloads or deep links from other sites. You can easily "reproduce" the fact that there is no Referer transmitted when using shift-right click by using tcpdump on any http connection. Do you need such a dump? The problem still persists with KDE version 3.5.2.
s/right/left/1 sorry
Klaus, can you confirm this with kde 3.5.4?
Verified with KDE 3.5.2; 3.5.4 not available for my platform at the moment. Interferes with usage of kget. Simply make a dump of TCP connection traffic, look for a GET HTTP statement, and there look for "Referer". Not so complicated, if you have the packages available. Stop asking questions, "is it fixed yet?", because it is not. Thank you.

Klaus please provide a testcase or instructions on how to reproduce. The website you link to earlier seems to no longer be up.
Confirmed in KDE 3.5.5 / Kubuntu 6.10. A test case is available <a href="http://www.mutube.com/x/kde/kde92142.php">here</a>. Click link normally to see referer information normally sent by Konqueror. When Ctrl-click into new tab, the referer information is not sent.
Confirmed on svn r620k, but if I middle click to open in new tab, referrer is sent
Confirmed to still exist on 4.0.3/Kubuntu, although I don't see the middle-click behaviour reported by Philip. Referrers are only sent when left clicking.
Still there in svn r837737. Now middle clicking *doesn't* send referrer for me
Confirmed in 4.5.4, updating version.
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 10 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
Dear user, KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6. Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component. We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes. For security issues, please see: https://kde.org/info/security/ Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML. Greetings Christoph Cullmann
