Take a look at : QNetworkAccessManager
Try something like that:

QNetworkAccessManager * manager;
QNetworkReply * reply = manager->get(QNetworkRequest(yourFile->url()));

QNetworkAccessManager * manager;
QNetworkReply * reply = manager->get(QNetworkRequest(yourFile->url()));

Dear Friend,
I have install my linux, http_fetcher program, and it have a function http_fetch(),
it loads the file to memory from the server, so i could load the picture to memory, and the last step I tried to paint them to the label. But Qpixmap::loadFromData( ) didnt work. Do you have any suggestion?

char *data = NULL;
     http_fetch(urlpath,&data)
     pixmap.loadFromData((const uchar *)data,sizeof(data));

char *data = NULL;
     http_fetch(urlpath,&data)
     pixmap.loadFromData((const uchar *)data,sizeof(data));

It seems like this fetch is a blocking function.
Please check the return value of loadFromData().
And check the length of image data after fetch to make sure that fetcher is fetching right.

sizeof(data) will always return the size of a pointer. You need to use the return value of http_fetch:

int len = http_fetch(urlpath,&data)
     pixmap.loadFromData((const uchar *)data, len);

int len = http_fetch(urlpath,&data)
     pixmap.loadFromData((const uchar *)data, len);

On another note, using a blocking function in your GUI thread is probably not a good idea.
