[Qt-interest] Discover IP address and Turn Into QUrl

[Bryce Salmi]

Colin,
    Yes I am accessing a webserver running on the same machine. However,
I did not design the server and localhost is currently disabled. Thank
you for the suggestion.

Bryce,
Are you trying to access a webserver running on the same machine as
your Qt program?

If so, then
http://127.0.0.1/somedir/somescript.cgi
should work;
127.0.0.1 is always the local address.

HTH,
