Problems with Google Maps at Ohloh under Konqueror

Every time I load a page at Ohloh that contains a Google map, I get this annoying error:

The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This could be because the API key used on this site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/.

It only occurs with Konqueror, and it's recent because I've been using Ohloh for months.

Please, fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hmm... nobody has responded to this? It also occurs in Chromium. While it's not critical it gets annoying after having to click OK when ever I visit a new page.

Weird. I'm a little stumped here. Could it be related to SSL/https? The google script we request is over plain http - 'cause they don't support https.

Are you guys seeing this whilst logged in only - or also when logged out?.

Only when I'm logged in.

I get it while I'm logged out and visit a profile or project page as well as when I'm logged in.

I have Chromium set to use SSL 2.0, should I unset that and test it, or would it matter?

EDIT: Nevermind, unsetting SSL 2.0 does nothing.

Thanks for the prompt replies. I'll fire up VirtualBox to see this myself - I can't get it to happen on Mac Safari/Firefox/Camino.

Thanks yourself. :)

Unfortunately I was unable to see this problem from my windows box (using Chrome). However, from looking at the code, we pick different Google Map API keys depending on the HTTP_HOST value. We use a different key when running ohloh locally during development. I suspect this might be the problem.

Therefore I commented out this code to see if it is the culprit. Could you let me know if this happens to fix it for u? Many thanks for your cooperation!

I'm still getting the popup.

And, I'm not using Chrome, I'm using Chromium, which is much more unstable.

I still get that error using Konqueror :(

If Chrome does not have the issue, then maybe I'll revert. There aren't any extras in Chromium anyways.

EDIT: The Stable version of Chrome does not have any issues, however, switching the the Dev branch of Chrome (weekly updates) the problem reappeared.

Same here in Konqueror, I have had this problem as long as I can remember (more than a year). The pop-up is quite annoying since you have to click on it to continue loading the page.

Any news about this?
