Description of problem: The following error message pops up whenever I go to, go back to, or refresh the FedoraForum main page (http://fedoraforum.org/) or the Guidelines page (http://www.fedoraforum.org/?view=guide) in Konqueror: "Connection to host fedoraforum.org is broken." [Accompanied by KDE breaking-glass sound.] No further data is given, but even while the message displays, the page loads as usual, without any further sign of any "broken connection". This happens repeatedly, every time I load either of those two specific pages in Konqueror, but it does not happen when I use Firefox or Epiphany on this site, and it does not happen in Konqueror when I go to any of the other pages within the FedoraForum site. I don't off-hand remember it happening in Konqueror on any other site, either. A bit of malformed code on the page, perhaps? But even so, Konqueror should maybe... automatically check for this circumstance, whatever it may be, and handle it differently so as to verify that a connection really is broken before launching that annoying error message? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I first noted this when running "Konqueror 3.5.8-31.fc7 Fedora (using KDE 3.5.8-19.fc7 Fedora)", but problem persists now with "Konqueror 3.5.9-3.fc7 Fedora (using KDE 3.5.9-5.fc7 Fedora)". How reproducible: Every time I go to one of those two pages at FF. Additional info: I'm also sending a message to the forum maintainers so they can look into it, if they can.
I just noticed this in the above: It doesn't matter whether I type in "http://fedoraforum.org/" or "http://www.fedoraforum.org/".
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Still happens in kdebase-3.5.9-7.fc8.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I can't reproduce this with F9.
