Hello, I have been trying to use rekonq for a day or two. The debian sid version is very unstable and keeps crashing. However, i liked the overall design and intend to try it again once it becomes more stable.
I would like to report a problem with rekonq, when one tries to use proxy authentication. I am facing exactly the same problem with konqueror, so maybe it has to do something with kde. I am forwarding the mail i had sent to debian-kde ml. Please replace konqueror with rekonq below, and the problem is similar. The only point i would like to add is that the proxy server mentioned in the mail below uses digest authentication. It would be nice if rekonq gets rid of this bug. Thanks, arvind ps: I am not subscribed to the rekonq mailing list, so please 'cc' the replies to me. ----- Forwarded message from Arvind <[email protected]> ----- Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:28:07 +0530 From: Arvind <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Proxy authentication problem with konqueror, in case of some websites Hello, I prefer using konqueror for browsing. Mine is a workplace machine and for browsing, i need to provide username and password for a proxy server account. I can browse most webpages with konqueror. However, in case of certain sites, when i try to open them using konqueror, it asks again for proxy server username and password (which had already been provided at the beginning of the browsing session). When i provide the username and password, it says: "Proxy Authentication Failed. Do you want to retry?" with options to 'Retry' or 'Cancel'. And no matter how many times i retry, it gives the same message. If i select 'Cancel', i get the message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The requested operation could not be completed Request Aborted By User Details of the Request: URL: https://lists.ubuntu.com/ Protocol: https Date and Time: Sunday 20 Jun 2010 2:58 pm Additional Information: authproxy.serc.iisc.ernet.in Description: The request was not completed because it was aborted. Possible Solutions: Retry the request. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As i mentioned, this happens only with some webpages - for example, any ubuntu user mailing list. A specific example would be the page mentioned in the above error message: https://lists.ubuntu.com/ Another example: http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/ I do not face this problem with iceweasel browser, so it is a konqueror specific issue. There is another proxy server that allows me to browse the web without username and password at certain times. I do not face problems in opening the above webpages, when i use that server, so the problem is with the way username and password are being handled. I have configured the proxy server through the standard settings: Settings --> Configure Konqueror --> Web Browsing --> Proxy --> Manually specify the proxy settings I am using konqueror 4:4.4.4-1 from debian sid. However, i have been facing this problem with all versions of konqueror, including those from debian stable (lenny). I am using icewm window manager, so do not have full-fledged kde or gnome installed. Thanks for any advice. Please 'cc' the replies to me, as i am not subscribed to the debian-kde list.
