Progress jump using QNetworkReply and SSL

[danc81]

Hi,

Just joined the forums and have a quick question..

I'm using QNetworkAccessManager to send some large data to a server over SSL/HTTPS and the progress seems to jump forward by a large amount and then stop while the data is uploaded. This does not happen when using standard HTTP. I believe this was supposed to be fixed in 4.5.3 but it doesn't seem to be.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around it and display the progress correctly? Can anyone confirm they are seeing the same behaviour?

Thanks.

There is a patch for 4.5.x that should fix the issue. Would be nice if you try it and can confirm it works for you: http://pastebin.ca/1629178

Also try the 4.6 from git or the beta1. It should also work.

Good luck,
Markus

I can confirm that the patch for 4.5.x works perfectly! Thanks.

Now, what would be the best way to throttle an upload with QNetworkReply?

[mgoetz]

Hm. I could think of your upload QIODevice:

1. be non-sequential (e.g. random-access), else the HTTP upload code will buffer it all before uploading.
2. Have a timer that resets the upload "quota" and emits readyRead() of the QIODevice
3. Ever readData() call must only return up to "quota" bytes

Something like that.

After applying the patch to QNetworkAccessManager I'm seeing a crash when aborting the post request. Before the patch, I could abort the upload within the event loop and it would be find, after the patch, aborting causes a crash, details:

Can anyone confirm that this is caused by the patch?

Thanks
