KDE bug 72941 prevents the Washington Post and several other sites that use javascript to test whether or not the browser is accepting cookies from loading. The included patch fixes html_documentimpl.cpp in konqueror. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Either use testcase in linked bug report, or: 1. Go to washingtonpost.com in konqueror 2. Follow link to an article, or away from the first or front page 3. Attempt to fill out and submit required survey Actual Results: The washingtonpost.com test will generate a mistaken "your browser does not accept cookies" error, or some such nonsense. It happens regardless of security settings, and even with washingtonpost.com and www.washingtonpost.com both set to allow all cookies in Konqueror's options window.
Seems to be fixed in 3.2.1
3.2.1 shows me the same behaviour as 3.2.0 , ie even when i enable all cookies & restart Konqueror, WP continues to send a note "please enable cookies". Mozilla-Firefox has the same problem.
The bug does indeed persist in 3.2.1. Checked cookie settings, and they're still set as permissive as possible, but to no end.
Can you let the bugs.kde.org people know, so that they know the bug persists?
The claim shows that the bug is fixed upstream. If that's not the case, you need to notify the kde developers so it truly gets fixed - closing as upstream.
