QHttp::dataSendProgress(int, int) signal giving the same value twice

[olidem]

Hi,
I have set up my http request fine, now I want to set up a progressbar giving info to the user.

I connected the QHttp::dataSendProgress(int,int) signal to my gui class.

But the two parameters always have the *same* value, eg.

If actual contentLength is 68888, QHttp emits

dataSendProgress( 69064 , 69064 )
dataSendProgress( 69115 , 69115 )

Further, I am not able to calcualte this somehow else, since the values being emitted always get slightly larger than requestHeader.contentLenght().

I am still running Qt 4.5.2 on Windows.

Thanks in advance,
Oliver

hmmm, no answer... maybe some admin could move this thread to the qt programming forum?
Thanks in advance,

My understanding is that the amount of data is not always known. The content length is taken from the header. I believe that the header can report the file size, or force the user to download the entire message body to determine the size. See section 4.4 here (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html ).

That said, I do not know if what you are seeing is a bug, or because of that.
