I had this with 4.6.2 as well -- but *NOT* with earlier 4.6 versions -- it was new to 4.6.2. Do you use a proxy? That seemed to be the issue here. Earlier kde4/ konqueror (4.2/4.3 era) had rather widespread proxy issues, but they disappeared with newer versions, at least here, until 4.6.2. Ultimately I believe both kde/konqueror and my proxy (privoxy) updated, so I don't know for sure which fixed the problem earlier, just that it eventually went away. But I made a single tweak with 4.6.2 and solved that issue here. AFAIK the issue is related to a HTTP 1.1 persistent connections mismatch between konqueror and the proxy, so if they're both set the same, it should work, otherwise there might be problems. In any event, the single tweak I made was to konqueror's proxy settings. Previously, "Use persistent connections to proxy" was unchecked. Now it's checked, and I've had no further problems. But depending on your proxy, you might have the reverse issue and have to /uncheck/ it. Whichever way it ends up working, hopefully toggling that works as well for you as it did for me. =:^) > This is one of a numebr of regressions in Konqueror since KDE 3 - do > they suggest that Konqueror is becoming obsolete and is being phased > out? The following is very much my own opinion and observations. It's very much NOT an official kde stance, which I couldn't give anyway as I'm not a kde dev. Yes and no. The old khtml engine isn't under as heavy development as it once was, but it formed the basis for webkit, which in turn is used by rekonq, a kde-based experimental browser. Apparently with rekonq installed (I say apparently because I don't have it installed here so this is based on what I've read) it's now possible to switch between the khtml and webkit rendering engines for konqueror as well. Given the larger market share and development resources webkit has, with support from both Apple (safari?) and Google (chrome/chromium) among others, and the fact that qt has native webkit support as well, many people are observing that it's probably unrealistic for kde to continue development of khtml in the longer term, and predicting a switch. However, with konqueror now able to use either the khtml or webkit kparts, it's unlikely that konqueror itself will fade. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
