           Summary: URLs with carriage control at the end
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: paul taniwha com


Version:           3.5.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-suspend2-r7

I found a web site today that (accidentally) had a URL that ended in CR/LF (or rather '%0D%0A'), URL lookup naturally failed, however it works OK under FireFox and IE which must be stripping CR/LFs off the end of URLs before looking them up.

My guess is that probably konq is strictly doing the 'right thing' while FF and IE are doing the pragmatic, usefull thing.

Anyway this isn't a plea to necessarily fix anything since this may be a standards wrangling issue, just wanted to point out that there is a difference and some real-world URLs fail and you guys might want to consider whether you want to make things compatable with the other browsers
