[Bug 518401] [NEW] Inconsistency of HTTP headers sent by Konqueror

Sun Feb 7 14:09:10 UTC 2010

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

The HTTP headers sent from Konqueror isn't the same when the same page
is entered in the address bar and click through a link:

Here's a PHP code to test this:

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/html");
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Header test</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/html");
foreach(http_get_request_headers() as $field=>$value) {
        echo "$field: $value\n";
}
?>
</pre>
<div>
<?php
print "<a href=\"$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]\">Load this page again</a>\n";
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

---USING WEBKIT---
Here's the result when the address is entered in the bar:

As seen, The connection parts of the headers are different. Even worse,
the user agent and the accept part is completely different when WebKit
is used.
