           Summary: Configuration to use HTTP instead of HTTPS
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Facebook
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jwickers at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Because there is a problem currently with KDE using proxy to connect to SSL
sites (see Bug 177432) i wished there was a checkbox / option to have the
export / import to use non SSL connections.

I am posting for the Facebook but this may apply to other export/import
plugins.

The reason for this: in some countries (ie: China) access to Facebook (and
other social services) is blocked, therefore one has to use a proxy to access
them.

Locally i simply patched the code and replaced the URL strings to use HTTP, and
it works fine for me. The only issue i had was that in order to allow the
plugin to work with facebook, one first has to login and allow the application.
Even with an HTTP link the form would post in HTTPS.
A simple workaround is to use another browser to do this part (opera / firefox
/ arora / ...).

Later the import / export works from digikam (for example) just using HTTP.
