Well, in KDE the http implementation used by browsers and the one used by applications is exactly the same.... the same kio_http process handles both. Same thing in pure Qt applications (QtWebKit uses QNetworkAccessManager, which is available to all Qt applications). > So giving any http link to anything but a browser is a recipe for multiple > crashes and errors as soon as your network conditions become non-trivial. I'll let the gimp authors reply (to pick one example of an app I know, that supports HTTP without using KIO). -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE, in particular KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
