[Qt-interest] QPixmap from URL

[Andreas Diehl]

Hello all.

I've got a QLabel which should display a QPixmap. Loading the pixmap from a local path works fine, but using a web address doesn't do. Here's my code (using Qt 4.4.3 and QtJambi):


QPixmap pixmap = new QPixmap("C:/projects/images/myPic.jpg");    //<-- works fine
//QPixmap pixmap = new QPixmap("http://SOMEPATH/myPic.jpg");    //<-- no effect

QLabel label = new QLabel();
label.setPixmap(pixmap);

The URL is correct and it's the same picture. Thus I quess using a web address does require some special format? I also tried using QUrl with no better result.
So perhaps some of you might have an idea or even solution. It's propably quite simple :-)

Thanks and regards,
    Andreas
