Bug 122039 – After update to KDE 3.4.3, Konqueror cookie misbehavior

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timothy Miller 2006-02-07 13:41:42 UTC]

Before posting this bug report, I did look through the settings for cookies and didn't find anything helpful.  Here's the problem:

I can login to slashdot.org.  If I click on an article that is also at slashdot.org, I stay logged in.  If I click on an article that is at linux.slashdot.org, apple.slashdot.org, etc., then I am logged out.  It looks like the cookie isn't being sent when there's a subdomain.

I didn't get this behavior before I upgraded from KDE 3.4.2.  I tried clearing the cookies for slashdot.org, but that didn't help.

BTW, I tried it in Firefox, and it works fine, so it's not a problem with slashdot.

I would like to give you my emerge --info, but Konsole is now also misbehaving.

Terminal issue turned out to be some kind of kernel problem.  Here's my info:

Thank you very much.  I managed to get it enabled.  It was very nice of you to point it out to me.  Now that I have the menu, there are so many entries in it, I can't use it.  And I can't find a way to empty it.

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-02-08 16:26:25 UTC]

Hmm, seems like something broke in Konqueror.  Can you file at bugs.kde.org?

[Comment 5 Timothy Miller 2006-02-09 07:15:12 UTC]

I cannot file upstream.  KDE's bugzilla refuses to let me enter bugs for 3.4.3, because it's "too old".  Do Gentoo developers have more clout with them than I do?  Or is it time to push 3.5 into stable?

[Comment 6 Timothy Miller 2006-02-10 04:47:06 UTC]

I just noticed something about this:  Slashdot's server keeps complaining that I'm sending a bad HTTP request.  Sometimes it works, sometimes, I get an error.  I can't be sure what the request is, but if Konqueror is sending garbage characters, that could be part of the cookie problem too.

[Comment 7 Tom Hosiawa 2006-02-14 21:17:04 UTC]

This doesn't seem to occur in the newest konqueror (3.5.1)

[Comment 8 Timothy Miller 2006-02-15 07:49:28 UTC]

Ok, so either something went wrong with my build (HELP??), or 3.4.3 shouldn't be in stable.

[Comment 9 Tom Hosiawa 2006-02-15 19:15:17 UTC]

Someone else would have to test it in 3.4, but I wouldn't say 3.4.3 shouldn't be marked stable.

If it's a bug in kde, it's a bug upstream, which they seem to have fixed in what I'm running. 

[Comment 10 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-08-24 12:41:55 UTC]

Stale bug, KDE 3.5 is stable. Feel free to reopen, if this should still be an issue.
