[Bug] Zeroconf enables Web Interface

Hello,

I have a problem with the Zeroconf and Web Interface plug-ins. Whenever I enable Zeroconf, next time I start KTorrent I notice that the Web Interface has also been enabled. If I disable WI, this also disables Zeroconf.

Are these two supposed to go together? You might consider this a security issue, since there is nothing in the main window to indicate that WI is active (would it be possible to have e.g. something next to DHT status?), so a lot of people with Zeroconf active (I think it is by default) will also find that they've been inadvertently running the WI with the default user name and password.

Thanks
George

This is a bug, the two plugins don't belong together.

It is a rather stupid bug, you can even fix it yourself.

Open /usr/share/kde4/services/ktzeroconfplugin.desktop and change the line

X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=WebInterfacePlugin

into

X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=ZeroconfPlugin
