[RFC] GMail notifier dataengine/plasmoid

[Stefano Rivoir]

Hi all.

I'm writing a little dataengine/plasmoid couple to have a GMail new mail 
notifier. Pretty trivial after all, but I have a problem with fetching 
data through HTML requests.

The fact is that I must retreive the XML source from a page, which is 
the result of several (3?) redirections (gmail.com uses the 'refresh' 
meta in HTML). These redirection must of course be followed within the 
same browsing session.

I've been trying KIO::multi_get, but it doesn't follow redirection, as 
it stops at the original page.

I can easily do it with cURL lib, but I suppose it's not very nice to 
have such a dependency and I bet that it can be possible with other KDE 
methods.

Any hint?
