            Bug ID: 465915
           Summary: Location bar not reflecting sftp/fish redirect
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.12.2
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: bars: location
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
If you enter an sftp or fish URL without any path in the Location bar, one is
normally redirected to the user's home directory on the server, as SFTP clients
usually behave. However, this is not reflected in the Location bar. Also, the
Up action becomes inactive.

The bug only comes up if you enter the URL without any path, not even a
trailing slash. If you enter a trailing slash, it opens the server's root
directory without any redirection, and it behaves normally.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Write sftp://user@host in the location bar or the Name input field, and press
Enter.

OBSERVED RESULT
The contents of a directory like  sftp://user@host/home/user are listed, but
the Location bar continues to contain sftp://user@host, and the Go/Up menu item
(or toolbar button, if visible) is disabled. 

EXPECTED RESULT
The Location bar changes to sftp://user@host/home/user; the Up action is
active, and (in this example) goes to sftp://user@host/home.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230215
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.1.8-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't know if the issue affects any protocol other than sftp and fish. I
don't remember if ftp has a similar redirect functionality, as I haven't used
it in ages; I've no idea about stuff like smb, ldap, webdav or gdrive.

In Konqueror, Gwenview and Krusader, the redirect is reflected in the Location
bar, only Dolphin seems to be affected.

A similar bug (or rather the inverse of it) affects file dialogs: the redirect
is reflected in the Location bar, but when a file is selected, the dialog
behaves as if one was in the server's root directory: Bug 465368.
