Bug#802766: kde-runtime: kde-open should open the original URL, not the one it was redirected to
Package: kde-runtime
Version: 4:4.14.2-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
To reproduce this problem run:
kde-open "https://www.codeweavers.com/support/bugs/browse/?cmd=bug_edit;bug_id=13370";
* Access to this specific page requires being logged into that website which
KDE is not.
* As a result kde-open gets redirected to the general browse page:
https://www.codeweavers.com/support/bugs/browse/
* kde-open then notices this is an HTML page and thus invokes iceweasel.
* But it invokes it on the redirected URL, not on the original one.
* So iceweasel opens with the wrong page despite having access to the original
URL.
kde-open should not make assumptions about redirections and should always pass
the original URL to the browser.
Note that I reported this bug to KDE for kde-open5 which has the same issue:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354246
But kde-open is in a separate Debian package (kde-runtime instead of
kde-cli-tools) and it's unclear to me whether it will stay around or be
replaced (Also Debian Stable users might be interested in a fix). Finally I was
unable to test version 4:15.08.2-1 due to the current upgrade breakage in
Debian Testing.
