Bug Description

Binary package hint: konqueror

If I visit https://www.cpp.co.uk/identity/ I am redirected to https://www2.respondingtolife.com/identityprotection-web/

However, even though it is an https connection, no icon appears on the right hand side of the address bar as it does with other sites. If I copy and paste the latter URL into a new tab, the icon appears as expected, so this appears to be a problem caused by the redirection.

Since you do not have an indication of the status of the https connection/certificates, this is presumably a security problem. But I don't know for sure -- I do not have an example of what happens when you go to a genuinely bad https site in Konqueror 4 to compare with.

This is with konqueror 4:4.1.4-0ubuntu1~intrepid2

This happens on this very launchpad site -- after submitting the above bug there is a redirect to the bug pa, and the green icon is again missing.

Still present with KDE 4.2, using Jaunty. Presumably an upstream bug.
