[Kde-imaging] gpssync, "unauthorized call of api" and digikam3rdparty.free.fr

[Bro Dudu]

Hi,

All started with a message while trying to geo-tag my pictures. When
editing geolocation I got a "unauthorized call of api" then the
coordinate of the pictures could not be set properly, it always uses
the previous used coordinate (I once succeed to make it work, with a
different IP, I made no other change I made).
While trying to debug this I found that the message comes from the web
site digikam3rdparty.free.fr . Why on hearth do I need to get through
this web site (which by the way throws an error at me) to geo-tag my
images? The link is hardcoded in gpsmapwidget.cpp, because the files
it try to reach is along the cpp file I tried to change so the link
would be file:///PATH/getlonlat.php, but it still does not work. Could
someone explain those dark spells/incantations to me!

PS: I am already uneasy about giving google the coordinates of the
images I made (by using the map), so adding another site
(digikam3rdparty) in the process...

PPS: I compiled kipi-plugins from source 0.16beta1. As I mentioned, it
once worked, it could be because of the IP (my laptop moved from one
ISP to another) that it does not work anymore. I'll be able to check
soon.

Thanks.
