QNetworkAccessManager PUT method delete data over server

[npatil15]

Hi,

I'm trying to update JSON data over a server but it is not updating, its deleting everything even if I send blank data.

Find the implementation below,



QNetworkAccessManager m_mgr;
QNetworkRequest m_request;
QNetworkReply *m_reply;
QUrl url("https://api.predic8.de/shop/products/10");
m_request.setUrl(url);

QVariantMap data;
data.insert("name", "Oranges");

QJsonDocument jsonData = QJsonDocument::fromVariant(data);
m_reply = m_mgr.put(m_request, jsonData.toJson(QJsonDocument::Indented));
connect(m_reply, &QNetworkReply::finished, m_reply, &QNetworkReply::deleteLater);

Please help me why it delete the data instead of an update?

I found the solution,
Setting header solved my issue,

m_request.setHeader( QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/json" );
Technically I don't understand why its deleting data if I didn't set header.
Can someone explain to me this or does it mandatory to use header?

Thanks

How should we know what your 'server' does at all?

Hi ChristianEhrlicher,

I'm using a local server, and follow this below tutorial for creating this local server,

Since this is not C++/Qt I can't help debugging the server.
