Bug#575885: konqueror does not support socks proxy

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@researchut.com>]

Package: konqueror
Version: 4:4.4.2-0rc1
Severity: normal

I have been trying to make konqueror run with my local ssh forwarded
socks proxy but konqueror completely fails.


I login to my remote host using: ssh -D port hostname

When I configure konqueror to use the port on the localhost, pages do
not open.

I see this as a Konqueror/kdenetwork problem because, for tests, I ran
the arora web browser with the same settings and it works.

Regards,
Ritesh
