Please do not do that. A DNS query does not, for the better or worse, belon=
g=20
at the level where the shorturi filter plugin is used. The KURIFilterPlugin=

is a high level plugin and is not part of KIO sub-system.  I guess this is =

fault since there exists a workaround for this issue, a regexp based=20
matching, but it does not have a configuration GUI yet.  It also suffers fr=

one minor bug due to the fact that it is not easy to store regexp matches a=

keys using KConfig.  Anyways,  I am in the process of fixing this right now=

I plan to make it possible to a protocol for any "shorturi". I will see wha=

I can do about the GUI...
