Ooops... Send this too soon :)) CVS as usual is refusing me access!!!!!! Can
someone please comment out the line that is somewhere around 1134 that has the
conditional check

if( locationStr.isEmpty() ) <==== comment this out 
  mimeType(m_strMimeType);

under the member function ::readHeader() in kdelibs/kio/http/http.cc ? 
If this fixes the issue ( hmmm... even if it does not!!! ) please replace the
it with:

if( locationStr.length() == 0 )
  mimeType(m_strMimeType);

This problem started being reported around the time I committed this fix to stop
mime checking when the server incorrectly sends back Content-Type information
with on redirection [302] response...
