[Qt-interest] qwebview post operation with authentication

[Fabien Brachere]

Hi all,
it seems that QWebView has a problem to download a web page when you
make a post operation with authentication.
The code I used (with Qt 4.4.3 and Qt 4.5.1):

---------------------------------------------------

#include <QApplication>
#include <QWebView>
#include <QNetworkRequest>

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{

    QApplication app(argc,argv);
    QWebView *wView = new QWebView(0);
    QByteArray postVars = QByteArray(QString("foo=bar").toAscii());
    QUrl url("http://a_web_page/with/authorization/index.php");
    url.setUserName("the_user");
    url.setPassword("the_pass");
    QNetworkRequest nR = QNetworkRequest(url);

    //wView->load(nR,QNetworkAccessManager::GetOperation);
    wView->load(nR,QNetworkAccessManager::PostOperation,postVars);
    wView->show();
    app.exec();
}

----------------------------------------------------

I test it on a Apache webserver with this .htaccess file:

AuthUserFile /root/protect/users
AuthName "Test"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require user the_user
</Limit>

When you replace the PostOperation by GetOperation, it works as
expected.
I used a network sniffer and see that the last request (after the 401
response from the server) is not finished (no post vars). 
If you make a second QWebView::load, it works...
Is it a bug in Qt or I did something wrong ?
Thanks.
