Hi, in the get() method of kioslaves I can reconstruct the whole URL by concatenating the path and the query. But in my case I also need the query string in stat() and listDir() as it makes semantically a difference, depending on some attributes, if the entry is a "dir" or a "file". Better yet, if KIO would not hack the URL itself apart, at least not with protocols it doesn't understand. Or is it KURL? Ciao, Michael.
