There's new API for this in upcoming Qt 5.9:

Indeed, generating a XMLHttpRequest from JS should work, too.

Subject: [Interest] QWebEngine: Http POST request with payload data

Does anyone know of the best way to make a HTTP Post request with payload data using QWebEngine?

In Qt4, you would do something like:

QNetworkRequest request(url);

request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

webView->load(request, QNetworkAccessManager::PostOperation, payloadList.join("&").toLatin1());

QWebEngineView (or related classes) do not seem to have a way to do this.

The only possible solution I’ve found so far includes generating some javascript to create the POST request and then issuing that with QWebEnginePage::runJavaScript…

Does anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks!
