Posting data to QWebView

[chrisb123]

Hi

How can I post data to QWebView

[chrisb123]

or is it even possible?
or can I enter data in a form in an existing widget?

Basically I'm trying to automatically log into a website

What do you mean "post data to QWebView"? What data? QWebView is just a widget that displays a web page. If you want to log onto the site, you have to post the data to the server and not your local widget.

What I mean is controlling the widget to make it post the login information, as if someone is manually entering the data, if thats possible...
I've tried reading the source code for the login webpage and posting the keys and values that are in the form to the server and displaying the result in the widget. I can display the html data I get back from the server, how do I get the url that the server replies with

QWebView::load() with your own network request as the argument.

awesome it works as expected

QUrl iws("https://secure.website");
    QByteArray iws2;
    iws2.append("username=" + user2.toAscii());
    iws2.append("&password=" + pass2.toAscii());
load(QNetworkRequest(iws),QNetworkAccessManager::PostOperation,iws2);

QUrl iws("https://secure.website");
    QByteArray iws2;
    iws2.append("username=" + user2.toAscii());
    iws2.append("&password=" + pass2.toAscii());
load(QNetworkRequest(iws),QNetworkAccessManager::PostOperation,iws2);
