[Interest] Debugging tip for QNetworkReply

[Mandeep Sandhu]

So there's a sizable difference between the file that works (600KB)
and the one that doesn't (55MB).

* Could it be a memory issue on your system? Have you tested higher
sizes after which it starts failing?
* What does reply->error() return when this problem occurs (you had
mentioned the error 'string', but not the exact error code)?
* Does the webserver run on the same machine or is it over the network?
* What HTTP status code does the webserver respond with for the failed
request (it'll probably be there in the logs)

If it's possible, you could run a packet sniffer and check which side
(client or server) closes the connection first.

Also, it's best to check reply->error() before proceeding to write the file.

HTH,

Is there a way I can tell what the failure is?  Perhaps, I can use wireshark to see the traffic and see the http response codes from the server. They should be 200, I would think since I can use a browser and get the zip(s) that way.  Perhaps a way to look through the request/reply objects to see what is going on?
