    Red face QNetworkAccessManager doesn't work

    Hello all together,
    at first: Sorry for my bad English

    Now my problem:
    I'm trying to download a file from the web using QNetworkAccessManager. Here you can see a snippet out of my code:
    Qt Code:
    1. void Downloader::StartDownload(QString &url)
    2. {
    3. QNetworkAccessManager *manager = new QNetworkAccessManager();
    4. QNetworkReply *reply = manager->get(QNetworkRequest(QUrl("http://qt.nokia.com"))); //Just an example
    5. connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()), &loop, SLOT(quit()));
    6.  
    7. loop.exec();
    8.  
    9. //Save the received data to file
    10. QFile file("C:\\data.dat");
    11. file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
    12. file.write(reply->readAll());
    13. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    This all is started in a new QThread. It seems as if the QEventLoop is never left, because no file is created on C:
    Maybe you can tell me where I made a fault
    Thank you!

    What is the code for quit slot?

    Secondly, Qt uses / for dir seperator, not \

    I used this Quit-Slot:
    http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qeventloop.html#quit

    It doesn't change anything if i change the "\\" to "/"

    Thanks for your answer!

    as yes, so you do. I forgot quit was a slot in QEventLoop.

    Using '/' instead of '\\' is easier for you (less typing, less change of mistake of putting only one backslash) and means your code is more portable across platforms which do use '/' seperator such as Linux. If the platform using another seperator, Qt can simply convert it for you if you use a '/'.

    Have you tried using QNetworkAccessManager::finished instead of QNetworkReply::finished? I know they should be emitted in tandem, but its worth a shot, surely.

    Also, check the output window for any diagnostic messages. Thats helped me before.

    Please provide a minimal compilable example reproducing the problem.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Hm okay, I tried it in a new project with the same code as above.
    Now it works

    I will try to find the reason and post it here.
    Thank you all!

    In debug mode, diagnostic messages are sent via stderr. For example, if you attempt to connect a signal to a non-existant slot, you'll get a message at runtime stating that rather than scratching your head wondering why something doesn't work.
