Url request problem for https: Host requires authentication

[roseicollis]

Hi,

I'm using Qt 4.8.5. I was making a request to an url which gaves me back a json reply. It was all ok until I had to change the url from http:// to https:// (Note the security 's' )

text = "https://myweb.com/api/mylist?PARAM1=00000000&PARAM2=1111111111&PARAM3=2222222";
    _Url = text;
 
    QNetworkRequest request(_Url);
    QNetworkReply *myReply = nam->get(request);

text = "https://myweb.com/api/mylist?PARAM1=00000000&PARAM2=1111111111&PARAM3=2222222";
    _Url = text;

    QNetworkRequest request(_Url);
    QNetworkReply *myReply = nam->get(request);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now if you do a reply->ErrorString() you get: "Host requires authentication"

How can I fix that problem? Any example or idea?

Thanks a lot!

Have you tried connecting to the network manager's authenticationRequired() signal?

Hi anda_skoa, I tried with:

m_ftpManagerPtr = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
connect ( m_ftpManagerPtr, SIGNAL(authenticationRequired(QNetworkReply*,QAuthenticator*)), this, SLOT(onAuthenticationRequestSlot(QNetworkReply*,QAuthenticator*)) );
 
void Test::onAuthenticationRequestSlot(QNetworkReply *aReply, QAuthenticator *aAuthenticator)
{
    aAuthenticator->setUser(m_ftpUser);
    aAuthenticator->setPassword(m_ftpPasswd);
}

m_ftpManagerPtr = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
connect ( m_ftpManagerPtr, SIGNAL(authenticationRequired(QNetworkReply*,QAuthenticator*)), this, SLOT(onAuthenticationRequestSlot(QNetworkReply*,QAuthenticator*)) );

void Test::onAuthenticationRequestSlot(QNetworkReply *aReply, QAuthenticator *aAuthenticator)
{
    aAuthenticator->setUser(m_ftpUser);
    aAuthenticator->setPassword(m_ftpPasswd);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But it don't gets into the slot, do you know why? do I have to initialize something before?

Hmm.
Did the connect succeed? I.e. is its return value "true"?
