In reviewing local logs of Apache, which was responding this was the default VirtualHost. Apparently, Iceweasel (Firefox too, I guess) was trying to reach http://wpad/wpad.dat and that failed. So the addition of "ServerAlias wpad" solved the problem. The moral is: Konqueror uses the FQDN while Iceweasel does not. Thanks for your reply.
