[Qt-interest] HTTP CGI Problems

[Bryce Salmi]

Thiago Macieira,
    Thank you for the suggestion. I ended up using your implementation successfully with:

QNetworkAccessManager *manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
QNetworkRequest request;
Request.setUrl(QUrl("http://192.168.1.20/something.cgi"));
QNetworkReply *reply = manager->get(request);

I will probably end up using the reply pointer to do some more stuff but overall this worked with some effort. I ended up using wireshark to trace the HTTP packets as they were sent. This is actually being used on an embedded ARM processor so I needed to make sure I was sending out packets first which took some effort. Once I was querying www.google.com I set it to my server and it worked perfectly.

Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions I really really really appreciate it.

Don't use QHttp, please. Use QNetworkAccessManager:

QNetworkReply *reply = manager.get("http://192.168.1.20/something.cgi");
connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()), obj, SLOT(handleFinished()));

When handleFinished() is called, read the data with reply->read() and reply-
>readAll().
