Cannot delete files using Konqueror

[Charles Opondo]

The ability to delete a file or folder does not work in Konqueror.

I am using Kubuntu 9.10.

I was not able to reproduce the view problem, the file list is populated in Konqueror.
(Need to test the file list order properly, looks like it is changing upon reloads)

However, delete functionality is really broken.

Here's why:

kdelibs-728671/khtml/ecma/xmlhttprequest.cpp:
void XMLHttpRequest::send(const QString& _body, int& ec)
{
   ...
   if (method == "post") {
     QString protocol = url.protocol().toLower();
     ...

     job = KIO::http_post( url, buf, KIO::HideProgressInfo );
     ...
   }
   else {
> job = KIO::get( url, KIO::NoReload, KIO::HideProgressInfo );
   }
   ...
}

So DELETE method does not get to the server for XMLHttpRequests.

This is a bug in KHTML, so it should be reported to KDE devs. We need to check other browsers using KHTML (and WebKit) too.

Hello, Charles.

Could you please check whether you are able to browse the files, i.e the folder and file views work as expected?

I was not able to reproduce the issue with the file views, but the issue with file/folder removal is confirmed and this is a bug in Konqueror itself.

The folder views are working, I've just confirmed that while attempting to create screenshots in Konqueror vs. Firefox to demonstrate the problem.

The delete does not work, however.

Bug description:
Browsing using Konqueror, when I select a folder its contents do not appear on the pane that should display the files - instead I see 'Folder is empty' at the top. However folder contents display correctly when browsing in Firefox. Other features, such as the ability to delete a file or folder also don't work in Konqueror.

I am using Kubuntu 9.10.
