Bug ID: 407558
Summary: Falkon thinks every string containing a dot is a URL
Product: Falkon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: jplx...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Falkon thinks every string containing a dot is a URL. Therefore, in the
combined search/addres bar, a string with a dot will not be send to a search
engine, it tries to open the page instead (which of course doesn't exist in
this case)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter something.something into the search/address bar
2. Press enter
OBSERVED RESULT
Falkon will try to load a page that does not exist.
EXPECTED RESULT
Falkon recognises that the letters after the dot are not a valid TLD and
therefore treats the string like a regular search query.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Don't treat every string containing a dot like a URL. Check if the URL is
valid, for example by comparing it to a list of valid TLDs. If it is not valid,
treat it like a search query.
Also automatically treat every string beginning with `https://` as a URL.
