It's obsolete because it was meant to be used with QHttp and since QHttp is obsolete now, this class is also marked as such. But it doesn't mean that it's obsolete for every other usecase (like when you're developing your own http server or proxy).

Since I can see no clear indication of whether giusepped is developing new code or building on existing code already using QHttp* classes, I find that state of affairs worth mentioning.
Do you see any indication that the OP wants to download anything via http?

I cannot think of any reason to parse the headers manually either
I see lots of reasons to do that but only if your goal is not to issue a simple get or post request to a remote http server.
