Really helpful open source guys

:Description:
    While writing tests for the eZ Components Webdav component I stumbled over
    an issue with Konqueror 3.5.9. While we have working tests for the PUT
    request (uploading files) for version 3.5.7, this request type did not
    work with my recent Konqueror installation. Some debugging and request
    dumping in Lighttpd later I was quite sure that Konqueror was the issue.

While writing tests for the `eZ Components`__ `Webdav`__ component I stumbled
over an `issue`__ with `Konqueror`__ 3.5.9. While we have working tests for
the PUT request (uploading files) for version 3.5.7, this request type did not
work with my recent Konqueror installation. Some debugging and request dumping
in `Lighttpd`__ later I was quite sure that Konqueror was the issue.

I'm neither a C(++) guy, nor do I use `KDE`__. Therefore I joined #kde-devel
on Freenode to see, if anyone there would be willing to support me in my bug
tracking. After a rough description I instandly got feedback on the essential
points I needed: Where in the code to look for the issue (it's
kdelibs/kioslave/http), what the correct SVN revisions for the 3.5.7 and 3.5.9
tags are and how I can easily try if the issue resides in the supposed code
area.

Some kdelibs compile later I could verify that the issue came from the
kioslave http module. While I could not really see the issue in the diff from
3.5.7 to 3.5.9 myself, again some people in the IRC channel instantly helped
me and we found the problem together within minutes. A patch was created
within minutes and I hope my `bug report`__ for Konqueror will be closed
soonish.

In this sense: **Thanks KDE people!** That was really good support! :)
