           Summary: error uknown host: offer really friendly help to handle
                    it
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

STORY:
=====
Let's say you typed:
http://fizyka.umk.pl/
(man, it took me long to find a good example :-) )

Konqueror says:
"
An error occurred while loading http://fizyka.umk.pl/:
Unknown host fizyka.umk.pl
"

It is ok for me to manually edit address again, but let look closer what could be \
done here.

Opera answer:
"
You tried to access the address http://fizyka.umk.pl/, which is currently \
unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and \
punctuated, then try reloading the page. Make sure your Internet connection is active \
and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working. \
Check that the setup of any Internet security software is correct and does not \
interfere with ordinary Web browsing. If you are behind a firewall on a Local Area \
Network and think this may be causing problems, talk to your systems administrator. \
Try pressing the F12 key on your keyboard and disabling proxy servers, unless you \
know that you are required to use a proxy to connect to the Internet. Reload the \
page. "

More elaborate, but those are those words, not real help really.

WISH:
====
This kind of problem can happen to anyone, why not display instead just a html page \
with table (it could be just a local .html file, and it could be a template so clever \
user could customize it).

Each table would be nice image + short text:
[reload] try again
[magnifying glass] search internet (1)
[history icon] show visited pages (2)
[book] explain more (3)

(1) then pages are searched for: with extra "www" prefix like in this report example, \
http instead of https and vice versa (2) then pages from history are shown, with +/- \
N differences in spelling (3) then the similar page to one opera shows is displayed

I think it would be useful no matter how experienced the user is (maybe except (3) in \
case of power-users :-) ). _______________________________________________
