    Hi,

    kdiff3 seems to be very cool! However, I have a little problem: I want to diff to webdav sources; it works, if I first contact both source with konqueror until it asks for a password, and then supply the two to kdiff3 like

    kdiff3 webdav://server1.com/path/ webdav://server2.com/path/

    but sometimes, I receive a "internal server error" from the second server; I think it might be some kind of a timeout, so the authentication information got lost.

    is there a way to pass username/password via kdiff3? I tried something like webdav://username:passoword@server1.com/path/, but that doesn't seem to do the trick :-(

    Thanks,

    Sascha

      The way you specified the username:password within the URL is correct. Does this also work in konqueror?

      I never used webdav yet, but with fish or sftp, KDiff3 also would ask for a valid username and password, if you don't supply them. This should work as it does in Konqueror.

      If Konqueror behaves the same as KDiff3 on the same input then the problem might be in the webdav-KIO-slave, otherwise it's probably a problem in KDiff3.
