OK. Now the problem is, when I use downloadUrl1(result from fromEncoded) 
to make a QNetworkRequest (HTTP GET), I always detect an error: Protocol 
"" is unknown.
When I switch to use downloadUrl2, all is good.

The code is like:
         ...
         QNetworkRequest req(downloadUrl1);
         QNetworkReply *reply = networkManager->get(req);
         connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()),
                 this, SLOT(dataPageFetchFinished()));
Then, I always detect "Protocol "" is unknown" error in the 
dataPageFetchFinished() slot function.

Any idea on why this is happening?
