Konqueror

Konqueror and local servers with self-signed SSL certificates

I've found a bug in KDE's Konqueror. If you access a webserver solely through its hostname (no FQDN, eg. a server on a small company intranet) and you try to reach it via SSL (https://) and that server has a self-signed certificate with a common name equal to its hostname, then Konqueror will keep bugging you with a confirmation dialog with the following message: Konqueror - Server Authentication
You have indicated that you wish to accept this certificate, but it is not issued to the server who is presenting it. Do you wish to continue loading?


It doesn't make a difference if you told Konqueror to accept the certificate forever. It'll keep asking you the same thing again and again. Sad

How to disable the single-click open of files in Konqueror

It's quite annoying (especially for KDE-newbies) that a single-click on a file in Konqueror already opens it. Windows users got used to the "click to select, then click and drag" way of moving files from one dir to another, and they curse Linux to hell whenever they click a file and it already starts its default associated application. It's quite easy to change this if you know where to look Smiling, but caused me some headaches since I was looking for it in Konqueror's preferences. However you've to go to "System Settings" / "Keyboard & Mouse" / "Mouse" / "General" tab and change in the "Icons" section the selection from "Single-click to open files and folders" to "Double-click ...".
