(Solved) QNetworkAccessManager and http-stream without headers

[muehle.kai]

Hi Chris,

An HTTP request was made and a non-HTTP response was received. This is a misconfigured HTTP server or not an HTTP server at all.

If you run your wget with the "-S" option do you see any headers? What is the URL?

The stream comes from a measuring system (running linux), which is inside it's own subnet without access to the internet. Data rate approx. 30MB/s. I have only limited access to the system. But your suggestion may be right, that there is no http server at all, and the system spits out only data at that particular port. Here is what wget -S said, translated from german :-):

wget -S http://192.168.1.100:5432
--2012-05-02 09:35:05--  http://192.168.1.100:5432/

What could I do to convince QNAM to read that stream without headers? If that cannot be achieved, what do you suggest to read those kind of streams?

Cheers,
Kai

QTcpSocket is how you would connect to an arbitrary TCP endpoint and just receive data as it is sent.

Hello Chris,

QTcpSocket is how you would connect to an arbitrary TCP endpoint and just receive data as it is sent.

that's it. I additionally implemented a QTcpSocket and did some minor changes on the sources. Now I can read via QNetworkAccessManager (already saved of data) or directly from the stream via QTcpSocket. Thank you for the suggestion!

Cheers,
Kai
