Hi,

I've got a web plasmoid issue that I hope someone can help with. I've written a little html page that uses xmlhttp and canvas to show my isp usage. It looks good and works well in both konqueror and arora, but will not work as a web plasmoid in kde 4.3. I use a single xmlhttp POST request to logon to my ISP which then refers using 302 to the actual usage page. It's here that I get the authentication error in the plasmoid.

From what i've read, the issue could be that cookies are not set until the completion of the request, however the referred usage page requires that it be set beforehand. I've tried to break the request up so that I login first then browse to the usage page, but that fails too.

Any ideas are appreciated

Does the Web Browser applet work with your ISP's page? I have a suspicion that you may be affected by a bug in the KIO http slave.

The web browser plasmoid behaves in the same problematic way.

You appear to have been affected by the same bug in the KIO HTTP slave the affects GMail. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190480

Please post some additional details that can help in troubleshooting the problem.

Here is a firefox header dump (less personal stuff) showing the redirect which is failing in the plasmoid:

This issue is now resolved in KDE 4.3.1.

Thanks everyone who helped out. I now have a shiny new web plasmoid to keep track of my internet usage! :
