Summary: Akregator Cannot Handle Secure RSS Feeds
Product: kontact
Version: 4.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: dlesage at redhat.com
Version: (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Fedora RPMs
Description of problem:
Not sure if this is a bug or a limitation of the software... If an RSS feed
requires a password, Akregator is simply failing to retrieve the articles. It
neither prompts the user for a password nor does it display any error message
if the OPML is imported. If the secure feed is added from scratch, an
incorrect "feed not found" message is diplayed.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Akregator 1.5.0 (KDE 4.3.0)
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install kdepim.
2. Launch akregator.
3. Import an *.opml file containing a feed that requires a password.
4. Try to fetch feed. User is neither prompted for the password nor confronted
with an error message.
5. We now try to add the feed afresh: Feed->Add Feed.
6. Input
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-comments-rss/12312796/SearchRequest-12312796.xml?tempMax=25
as the feed name.
7. "Feed not found" error dialogue box appears, despite the fact that the feed
exists and another RSS feeder (Blam) can retrieve the articles.
Actual results:
Cannot detect this feed nor retrieve the article
Expected results:
Should either prompt user for a password and then retrieve the articles or, in
both situations, display a correct error message that it cannot retrieve
articles from secure feeds.
