QHttpResponseHeader encode & Save COOKIE value %20

I must save valid cookie to resend at server the next time ....
but QUrl QUrl::fromEncoded "cookievalue" can not decode ... is not a url...
i thear other way to become a clean value decoded %20 + ....??
or i must replace all sign and special char....

cookie incomming = "Sunday+29th+of+October+2006+02%3A21%3A30+PM"

Code:

---

void readResponseHeader(const QHttpResponseHeader &responseHeader )
{
    QStringList cookielist = responseHeader.allValues("set-cookie");
           for (int i = 0; i < cookielist.size(); ++i) {
               QString cokeline = cookielist.at(i);
               QStringList onlines = cokeline.split("=");
               QString cookiename = onlines.at(0);
               QString cookievalue = onlines.at(1);
              qDebug() << "### entry set-cookie pos=" << i << " name= " << cookiename << " value=" << cookievalue;
           }
    emit WatReturn(QString("One code=%1 - Other say = %2").arg( responseHeader.statusCode() ).arg( responseHeader.reasonPhrase() ) );
    ////////qDebug() << "### QHttpResponseHeader    " << responseHeader.toString();
}

You can iterate through the string and convert all %xx matches to their hexadecimal value.

So..... i can read cookie on window .... i hope is run on Mac & Linux ...

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
 
 
#define SPC_BASE16_TO_10(x) (((x) >= '0' && (x) <= '9') ? ((x) - '0') : \
                             (toupper((x)) - 'A' + 10))
 
QString  Url_Decode( QString indata )
{
         QByteArray lop = indata.toAscii();
         char *newstrings = lop.data();
         char *resulter = spc_decode_url(newstrings);
         QString salt = QString("%1").arg(resulter);
         QString resoap = salt.replace("+"," ");   
         return resoap;
}
/* found http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/excerpt/spcookbook_chap03/index2.html */
char *spc_decode_url(const char *url) {
  char       *out, *ptr;
  const char *c;
 
  if (!(out = ptr = strdup(url))) return 0;
  for (c = url;  *c;  c++) {
    if (*c != '%' || !isxdigit(c[1]) || !isxdigit(c[2])) *ptr++ = *c;
    else {
      *ptr++ = (SPC_BASE16_TO_10(c[1]) * 16) + (SPC_BASE16_TO_10(c[2]));
      c += 2;
    }
  }
  *ptr = 0;
  if ( strlen(url) == (ptr - out)); /* does not include null byte */
  return out;
}

What will happen if indata contains "%2b"?

This actually does nothing. Probably you were supposed to add something yourself there.

And you have a memory leak, since you never free the memory allocated by strdup().

I guess it would be better to use QRegExp::indexIn(), QRegExp::cap() and QString::replace() instead of that mess.

Is like this better?

QString blnull = "";
QString notaccept = "%60|%5D|%5B|%7E|%5E|%5C|%7C|%7D|%7B";
QStringList notallow;
            notallow = notaccept.split("|");
 
             for (int i = 0; i < notallow.size(); ++i) {
                 if ( indata.contains(notallow.at(i)) ) {
                   return blnull;   
                 } 
             }
 
         QString spaceout = indata.replace("%20"," ");
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("%3A",":");  
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("%3B",";");
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("%3D","=");
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("%3F","?");
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("%40","@");
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("%24","$");
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("%2B","+");
                 spaceout = spaceout.replace("+"," ");  
         return spaceout;
}

I'd prefer something like that (not tested):

Code:

---

QString stringToDecode;
QRegExp rx("%(\\d\\d)");
int pos = 0;
while((pos=rx.indexIn(stringToDecode, pos))!=-1){
  uint val = rx.cap(1).toUInt(0, 16);
  stringToDecode.replace(pos, 3, QString(QChar(val)));
}

---

After this "stringToDecode" should contain the converted string.

I recommend this code - it eliminates errors caused by previous code (hex A-F are not decimal = unrecognized by previous code, "hi%25there" represents "hi%there" = causes unwanted character creation "%th" - last replaced character has to be jumped over)

Code:

---

QString stringToDecode;
QRegExp rx("%(\\S\\S)");
int pos = 0;
while ((pos = rx.indexIn(stringToDecode, pos)) != -1) {
	stringToDecode.replace(pos, 3, QString(QChar(rx.cap(1).toUInt(0, 16))));
	pos++; // jumps over currently replaced character
}
