[Konqueror] Security Settings ???

Using KDE 3.4.0 on Gentoo Linux, I just found a strange behaviour in Konqueror:

When I click an irc-link on a webpage (e.g. irc://irc.somenet.net/somechannel), it should automatically start kopete and open that channel. This is due to the irc.protocol file in /usr/kde/3.4/share/services, which contains:

Source code

12

[Protocol]
exec=kopete %u
protocol=irc
input=none
output=none
helper=true
listing=
reading=false
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false
Icon=irc_normal

But this does not work, also kopete is installed of course.

When I click on such an irc-link on a webpage, a konqueror security warning comes up, telling

Quoted

This page is not classified as secure and contains the link irc://irc.somenet.net/somechannel. Do you wand to access that address?

When I then click on "follow", another konqueror security warning comes up, this time telling

Quoted

Access to irc://irc.somenet.net/somechannel has been denided, because of the page not being classified as secure

and that's it. I then only can klick on "OK" and nothing more happens.

I already searched all options in the konqueror setup, but there are no security related settings at all.

What the heck is goin on here?

BTW When I enter the same irc:// url in the konqueror address box, it is working (so after pressing enter, kopete gets started and the link forwarded, as expected)! So it is all about clicking such a link on a webpage.

P.S. I just found out, that the described problem seems to only appear, if the link is on a frame-page, which is not from the same server as the frame itself. I tested klicking on such an irci:// link by opening the mentioned frame page in a new browser window -> by klicking the link, the first waring appears, but if I then click on "follow", it opens kopete correctly.

Nevertheless, there has to be a possibility to control such security settings, otherwise it would not not give such security advices.

So how can I tell konqueror to classify certain websites as "secure" ???
