Konqueror thinks ftp:// links are smb://

[Duncan]

Does anyone else have problems with Konqueror like this?

Go here and click on any of the FTP links:

http://arts.ucsc.edu/faculty/cope/mp3page.htm

For instance:

ftp://arts.ucsc.edu/pub/cope/visions2.mp3

I get errors like this:

The requested operation could not be completed

WTF?  smb??  (See the additional information bit.)

I don't even have MS systems around, and thus don't even have samba 
installed.

OK, seems I'm not the only one:

When accessing an ftp server with an http proxy set,
it tries to use the smb protocoll

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195085

Note: I have it set to use the proxy for HTTP ONLY, NOT for FTP, which 
remains unset, as the proxy (privoxy) only handles HTTP.

OK, so KDE's ready for normal use, eh...  Doesn't look like it here, 
despite what the PR says.  How many bugs like this does it take?

The bug (plus dups) is filed...  At least there's a workaround for this 
one, direct editing the file as described in the bug, to remove (or 
comment) the null ftp entry that the ioslave obviously doesn't treat as 
null.
