Dear all,

from one server (Microsoft-IIS 7) Konqueror does not requests the
password. Sniffing the connection, I see a "401 Unauthorized" reply
from the server, then Konqueror stalls (the icon is moving still after
approx. 10h), IMHO konqueror waits for the password, no packets are
transferred. I cannot add the WebDAV shares of this server in Dolphin
for the same reason, I guess.

kioexec open url produces the password dialogue. When connect to
another server (Apache2) I do get the password prompt as well.

For testing I do not use neither a proxy nor SSL. Midori und Iceweasel
do work flawlessly. w3m, Lynx und cadaver, as well.

Do somebody knows where I can look further, in order to have Dolphin/
Konqueror/Kio ask the password?

Regards, Steffen

Have you tried Firefox in one of its many names? I seldom use
konqueror on the web. HInt: Firefox 3.6 is a lot more user friendly
than Firefox 4.x.

It must be a rare site that requires a password just to view it in a
web browser. Can you post the URL?

yep, Iceweasel is Firefox's name on Debian. It's working.

It's an internal file server, so the URL does not help. Ans also
therefore, I need to access the server via WebDAV, and that's why I
need the underlaying kio-service working.
