[Bug 241671] New: Export to PicasaWeb no longer working since version 1.2.0

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241671

           Summary: Export to PicasaWeb no longer working since version
                    1.2.0
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Export
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux

Since I installed the upgrade to digiKam 1.2.0 from Ubuntu repositories, the
export to PicasaWeb is no longer working for me.

After providing my PicasaWeb logon credentials to digiKam, I'm always getting
the error message
"Aufruf von Picasaweb fehlgeschlagen: Die Liste der Fotosätze kann nicht
abgefragt werden."
which translates to something like
"Failed to call Picasaweb. Wasn't able to get the list of Albums"
As digiKam isn't able to see my Picasa albums, I'm not able to upload any
pictures. Creating a new album doesn't work either.

This did work with previous digiKam versions (which had another UI for the
picasaweb plugin) just fine.

I can logon to Picasa just fine with my web browser. So the Picasa servers are
reachable.

Same problem on another PC and with another PicasaWeb account. So I think it's
not related to wrong configuration.

Please let me know, if I shall provide any logs or additional information which
might help to track the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Select the "Export to PicasaWeb" feature
- Enter you PicasaWeb logon credentials

Actual Results:  
- Error message "Aufruf von Picasaweb fehlgeschlagen: Die Liste der Fotosätze
kann nicht abgefragt werden." (Failed to call Picasaweb. Wasn't able to get the
list of Albums)

Expected Results:  
- digiKam should show the list of existing PicasaWeb albums and it should be
possible to upload pictures to PicasaWeb

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-22-generic
Compiler: cc
KDE 4.4.2
Kubuntu 10.04

I had same problem with one picasa account but not with the other. It got fixed
simply that I logged in with browser and I created new album and then logged
out. Then I tried to upload again with kipi-plugins picasa export tool and it
could refresh albums and upload photos to any albums.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately this doesn't solve the problem for me.
In both Picasa accounts I did create a new album via Picasa webinterface. But
nevertheless Picasa export in digiKam refuses to fetch the list of albums.

Ok, I think I found the reason for this problem by doing some Wireshark
tracing.

When my picasa username is e.g. [hidden email] digiKam is doing a HTTP GET
to the URL

http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/my.name%2540mydomain.de

in order to get the list of available albums. Picasa webservers are then
returning a

"Unable to find user with email my.name%[hidden email]"

So digiKam is doing a wrong URL conversion. The @ sign should be escaped to %40
and not to %2540 . Actually it seems like digiKam is doing the URL conversion
twice, because the % sign then of course is escaped to %25.

Users with a gmail account won't notice this problem, as there you don't have
to provide the full email address on logon, as Picasa automatically adds the
@gmail.com to everything it doesn't recognize as fully qualified email address.

(In reply to comment #3)
Forgot to mention:
Workaround is to enter your Picasa account name as user name in digiKam,
instead of the email address.

But nevertheless I think the bug with the wrong URL encoding should be fixed.
