            Bug ID: 373048
           Summary: Clicking links lag when server is slow or not existing
           Product: frameworks-kio
           Version: 5.28.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: fa...@kde.org
          Reporter: guoyunhebr...@gmail.com
                CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The test URL https://www2.guoyunhe.me/ points to a server that doesn't exist.

1. Open LibreOffice or other software that you can insert a link.
2. Type URL https://www2.guoyunhe.me/
3. Ctrl + click the link.
4. Wait the link to be opened.

Expected result:

Open the link immediately in web browser.

Actual result:

There will be a notification with progress bar. And wait about 3 seconds, it
time out and open an error dialog: server not found. But it doesn't open the
URL in web browser at all.

If the server exist but very slow, users will wait a while before open link in
web browser.

My worry is that even KIO cannot access the server, maybe the web browser can
(with HTTP/Socks5 proxy). KIO does not need to check if the server can be
connected, because the web browser will do this. This step will create a
uncertain lag before opening links.
