Konqueror's "Open With" dialog behaviour when opening a URL with an external application

Hey there,

I'm looking at Ark bug 273239 [1]: when one clicks one of the mentioned
links, the Open With dialog shows up, and if one chooses to open the
linked zip file with Ark it fails.

It turns out that the web server only allows that link to work if the
Referrer is set correctly. However, when Ark is called it just issues an
HTTP GET with no Referrer header, thus getting an HTML login page
instead.

Is there anything I could to on Konqueror/KRun's side, or should I just
close that bug as something that cannot be fixed on KDE's side?
