Description Warren Togami 2002-04-07 13:09:48 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:  
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0; Linux)  
  
Description of problem:  
When I click on certain links ending with a "/" in the Red Hat Training site  
with the Konqueror web browser, the URL bar adds an unnecessary %20 character  
to the end.  Back button not available to return to the prior page.  
  
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  
Skipjack beta2  
  
How reproducible:  
Always  
  
Steps to Reproduce:  
1. Go here in Konqueror http://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/courses/  
2. Click on "Student Guide" or "Certification Central" in the bottom left bar.   
These URL's end with a / character.  
3. Error 404 page because of the extraneous %20 character at the end of the  
URL.  
4. Click "Back".  It does not return to the prior page.  Instead it returns to  
the page viewed before that.   
   
  
Actual Results:    
Adds extraneous %20 to URL resulting in Error 404.  Back button lost knowledge  
of the last prior page, instead going to the one prior to the prior page.  
  
Expected Results:    
It should navigate properly in the first place.  Back shouldn't lose knowledge  
of the prior page.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-04-08 09:51:57 UTC
Konqueror does the right thing. The link clearly points to 
"/training/student_guide/ " <- note the space (== %20) before the quotation mark. 
 
This happens to work in some other browsers because they are buggy; what konqueror does is 
the correct behavior. A browser must not ignore anything in the quotation marks. 
 
Reassigning to website so they can fix it.

> Back shouldn't lose knowledge of the prior page.

What about this aspect of my report?  I believe this is clearly a Konqueror bug.
 Should I open another bug report or will this be fine?

Comment 3 Warren Togami 2002-04-08 11:18:31 UTC
I dug deeper into this problem, and I believe I found an obscure JavaScript bug
in Konqueror.  I detailed everything at this URL below with a few test cases
showing inconsistent behavior of hyperlinks and Konqueror losing knowledge of
the prior visited page when clicking Back.
