Was there a request to the server in the first place? Or did QNAM fail without 
sending a request?

Was the request HTTP or was it HTTPS? If it was HTTP, can you check if there's 
anything different in the HTTP headers sent? Can you check why your HTTP 
server decided to send 403 Forbidden?

Other recommendations:

Remove your code that uses QNetworkConfigurationManager. You should always 
assume you're already connected.

Replace your QString-based URL construction with QUrlQuery.
