[Interest] QTemporaryFile::open(OpenMode flags) is protected, but not in documentation

[Etienne Sandré-Chardonnal]

Hi Thiago,

I said "reopen" in my post but this was not crystal clear.

I do not want to read first, I want to write data, close, then reopen for
reading (Used as a buffer for uploading large data over the network and
avoid keeping it in memory).
