Hello to everyone,
does anyone know whether KIO::MimeTypeFinderJob is supposed to work with
URLs
requiring authentication?
From my understanding of the documentation, (particular about the
setAuthenticationPromptEnabled and isAuthenticationPromptEnabled), it
should
work. However, when I tested it using an ftp URL which requires
authentication, the job produced an error with code 1 and error string
"User
canceled action". This message seems very strange to me, given that I
did
nothing to cancel the action (and, indeed, I wasn't given any mean to do
so.
Experimenting with the source code of MimeTypeFinderJob, I found out
that to
have a login dialog be displayed, I needed to remove this line (line 131
in
mimetypefinderjob.cpp):
job->setUiDelegate(nullptr);
Here job is a KIO::StatJob used by MimeTypeFinderJob to find out whether
the
URL corresponds to a directory or not. Since this line is right below
the
conditional block which checks whether authentication prompts are
enabled, I
started wondering whether this line is correct or should instead go
inside the
block, so that it's executed only when authentication prompts are
disabled, or
even if it's a leftover from when support from when
isAuthenticationPromptEnabled/setAuthenticationPromptEnabled were added.
What do you think? Should I file a bug report about this behaviour, or
is it
expected?
Thanks in advance
Stefano
