QHttp readAll() return empty QbyteArray

[chamoda]

Hi!

I'm a beginner to Network programming and I'm trying to write a simple console application which return html source from server.

this is the code



void Downloader::doDownload()
{
QHttp *http = new QHttp(this);

http->setHost("c-studios.host56.com");
http->get("/index.html");

connect(http, SIGNAL(stateChanged(int)), this, SLOT(stateChanged(int)));
connect(http, SIGNAL(responseHeaderReceived(QHttpResponseHeader) ), this, SLOT(responseHeaderReceived(QHttpResponseHeader))) ;
connect(http, SIGNAL(requestFinished(int,bool)), this, SLOT(requestFinished(int,bool)));
connect(http, SIGNAL(readyRead(QHttpResponseHeader)), this, SLOT(showHtml()));


}

// ....

void Downloader::responseHeaderReceived(const QHttpResponseHeader &resp)
{
qDebug() << "Size: " << resp.contentLength(); //works fine. show correct length
qDebug() << "Type: " << resp.contentType(); // works fine
qDebug() << "Status: " << resp.statusCode(); // fine return 200
}

void Downloader::requestFinished(int id, bool error)
{
if(error)
{
qDebug() << "Error!";
}
else
{
qDebug() << "Ok!";
}
}

void Downloader::showHtml()
{
QString html(http->readAll()); //this is the problem. QString is empty
qDebug() << html;
}



when i call http->readAll() it's return empty byte array. I can't fugure out what is the problem. someone help please. thanks

I'm guessing there is no data yet ready, just the headers. You can read your data in requestFinished() if you want. Or better yet use QNetworkAccessManager instead of the deprecated QHttp.
