Respected members of the community,<br><br>First of all let me introduce myself. I am a Google Summer of Code 2012 student implementing Metalink/HTTP [RFC 6249] support in Kget. In most basic terms my implementation involves receiving of the custom HTTP response header fields sent by the server supporting Metalink/HTTP. I have been trying to use KIO and extract the information from the custom HTTP response headers sent back by the server, however it has been in vain. <br>
<br>I am using <a href="http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo-SDK_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo-SDK_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz</a> to check the Metalink/HTTP. It works fine while running <br>
<br>curl -sI <a href="http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo-SDK_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo-SDK_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>However, while doing so using KIO, I've encountered problems. <br>It seems that the header replies that KIO gets are of the redirected download link, ( the same as Konqueror gets it while typing the link in the address bar)<br>
However my objective is to prevent the redirection and directly obtain the HTTP header response sent by the server.<br>I have tried with setRedirectionHandlingEnabled(false). But on doing this there is no response and the program gets stuck.<br>
On removing the redirection handling code and setting it to the defaults the redirection presisits.<br><br><br>The output that(with the redirection left to defaults) I get is <br><br>"HTTP/1.1 200 OK <br>
