           Summary: KGet's Konqueror integration doesn't handle cookies
                    properly
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kget kde org
        ReportedBy: from_kde_bug_tracker ssokolow com


Version:           v0.8.5 (using KDE 3.5.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-gentoo-r4-20060825

When downloading files from sites which use cookies to determine whether the user gets their file (eg. for age verification), KGet integration causes the download to silently fail, saving the "Do you accept these terms?" page instead.

I don't know whether this is a Konqueror bug (Konqueror not sending the cookies to KGet) or a KGet bug (KGet not using any relevant cookies that are available), but it's definitely a problem. I almost lost a bunch of transient files I was trying to save. Thankfully, I tried to open one of them and discovered the problem before they left the server.
