Rekonq generates incorrect URL for AJAX query following POST

[Harald Sitter]

At least when using the browser Rekonq (prospective default for Kubuntu 10.10) I regularly get the following error message when commenting on a bug on bugs.edge.launchpad

> The following errors were encountered:
> Object: , name: u'https'

The comment however is successfully posted.

Without a better error message this is going to be difficult to debug this further. Bug 521447 tracks our need for better error handling. I'll preserver this bug for tracking what this particular error might be. If it's possible to debug the XHR requests via Rekonq, that might provide some useful info here.

It seems to me that given that rekonq is gonna be default browser in Kubuntu Maverick, and the fact that launchpad is used to report bugs in same, this bug will surely hit a lot of users. Maybe, the importance of "low" is not exactly right?

For self-documenting purpose:

How to debug XHRs in rekonq and webkit browsers in general:
- Tools menu => Web Development => Web Inspector
- Go to 'Resources' main tab
- Enable resource tracking
- Go to 'XHR' tab within the 'Resources' main tab

At XHRs you should then get new XML resources listed in that tab. As well as XHRs showing up in the logs ('Console' main tab).

I don't see this with KUbuntu Natty (rekonq 0.7.0). But posting a comment has a slightly different problem, in that the page is not updated properly: instead of the comment being inserted, all I get is an "[object object]" placeholder.

[Davor Cubranic (cubranic)]

Here is what the page looks like after I posted the preceding comment.

[Davor Cubranic (cubranic)]

I opened a new report for the "[object Object]" issue: bug #799491.
