KDE-Forum.org

Basically when I try to access a page that has .jsp as the end of the URL, konqueror wants to open KWrite and just dump the stream from the webserver into it, rather than render the page itself.

I've tried setting the mime type and associating the extension for .jsp to go to konqueror, but that has had no effect.

If I use firefox, the pages are rendered correctly.

Has anyone else seen/fixed this?

(Searching KDE bugs didn't turn up anything.)

I did that on a link and the output showed that it is not sending a MIME type.

Here's one of the links I'm having trouble with: https://carenet.fnfismd.com/indymacbank/ACCLogin.jsp

Wget reports that this link is a Sun One webserver sending HTTP/1.1 and setting a session cookie.

But shouldn't Konqueror be ignoring the leading white space? That appears to be the behavior of Firefox.

In any case the jsp is broken, as it should write proper content type headers in its reponse.

Ok, I'm using 3.4.1. Perhaps something broke since the 3.3 series. And I say broke, as even though the jsp is not sending proper format, other browsers detect and render the page properly. End users don't care who isn't doing things right, they just want it to work. So sweeping it under the carpet and pointing at the website is not a good way of doing things.

It would be nice if everyone did things strictly, but they don't. So the tools need to be flexable.

An adage that I learned a long time ago when I began my career in software development said: "Be liberal in the input you accept, but conservative on the output you generate."

Basically, you know someone out there isn't going to closely follow the rules, but you need to work with what they give you. At the same time, you should follow the rules yourself as to not make things worse for the next person down the line.
