I'm using the same versions. Opening http:... links works fine for me.

Title:
xdg-open on Kubuntu 20.04 reports 'Could not connect to localhost:
Connection refused' if localhost service not already up
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System ->
About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04
(Kubuntu 20.04 Fresh Install)
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname'
or by checking in Software Center
xdg-utils:
Installed: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1
Candidate: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1
3) What you expected to happen
xdg-open "http://localhost:1313"; to open the default browser at
http://localhost:1313
4) What happened instead
A gui dialog titled 'Error -- KIO Client' pops up with the message 'Could not
connect to host localhost: Connection refused.'
5) More Info
I use xdg-open "http://localhost:someport"; in my bash scripts before it
actually starts the service as a time saver. On older Ubuntu and other distros
it would open the default browser (Firefox) with a page not found. I press
reload once the service is setup and Firefox loads the page.
On Kubuntu 20.04 xdg-open gets blocked if the port is not already
opened.
Example command:
xdg-open "http://localhost:1313";
This did work on Kubuntu and Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 19.10. Currently
works on Manjaro KDE with latest stable update. Worked on Fedora 31
KDE (can not remember if I tested 32).
Current Manjaro package reported as: xdg-utils 1.1.3+19+g9816ebb-1
Ubuntu 20.04 not tested.
