[Interest] Getting response from external web page

[Jérôme Godbout]

Hi,
Just an idea, after you submit, does the web page change url? maybe you
could change it if possible, that would help you know the submit is
completed via urlChanged() signal.

Not sure which version of Qt, but if you can move to qwebengineview
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwebengineview.html

The web page should store the answer somewhere and make it possible to
access it.

Not sure how to achieve that with QWidgets, in Qml with WebView you can
request runJavaScript(), maybe someone can point out any equivalent for
QWidget.

Maybe if you redirect after submit, you could plain put the answer into the
web page where you could read the content of the page once url changed to
answer and page is finish loaded.

Not sure if you have control over the webserver side or web page here.
