Duplicates are marked closed with "duplicate of xxx". If you have 
permissions to do so, you have a field below the bugs, which allows you 
some selections and options.

See http://quality.kde.org/develop/howto/howtobugs.php

For duplicates you usually close the newer bug (higher number) with 
reference to older ones. I make exceptions from this rule, when the 
discussion in the newer bug is more helpful and will probably lead to 
faster fixing. In these case I close the older one linking to the new bug.

Neverthelesse you always need to have a careful look, as sometimes the 
bug reports sound very different, but describe the same problem, whereas 
sometimes the reports sound very equal, but describe different problems.
You may find the "This possibly is related to BUG xxx" as comment then.

Tell the bug numbers of your xmlhttps dupes and I will have a look at 
them.

Ciao
