Bug ID: 394599
Summary: KMail generates duplicate requests when opening URL
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.8.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: misc
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
I've come to notice an problematic behavior of KMail (and probably of other KDE
applications, too) of opening URLs. My systems default browser is Firefox. When
I click on a link in a mail, KMails seems to do a request, followed by Firefox:
some IP - - [04/Feb/2018:20:50:17 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5200 "-"
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) KHTML/5.42.0 (like Gecko) Konqueror/5
KIO/5.42"
same IP - - [04/Feb/2018:20:50:18 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5200 "-"
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0"
I wonder why KMail at all is doing a request in contrast to just handing the
URL over to the browser.
This behavior can be problematic with verification tokens, e.g. I wasn't able
to complete an ordering process with hetzner.com until I copied/pasted the link
to Firefox.
It also breaks the Discourse Forum one-click update, Eurowings booking
informationen and account confirmation at senderscore.org.
