[Qt-interest] Transferring a QPixmap through QTcpSocket

Doesn't a TCP connection ensure that, i.e no packets are lost (unlike
UDP)? So once you've read all data off the socket it should be the
complete byte stream sent by your server. CMIIW.

Now, I'm not sure if QDataStream adds its own meta-info on top of the
raw data (maybe someone on the list can point out the specific of how
an image is serialized), but once you get a pointer to your pixmap
data, you can convert it using QPixmap::loadFromData(const QByteArray
&...).
