Connect to a web server

[sliverTwist]

Hello i am new here
My problem is that i am trying to develop an Gui application that allows the user to connect to specified cloud server and synchronize his data
so my question is how to make this. I know Qt I've already learned about it and how to use it actually i am an android developer so developing in c++ seems a little bit funky to me. I'll appreciate any possible help
Thanks

You should start by learning the protocol this cloud server uses for data exchange.

[sliverTwist]

i think it uses HTTP and HTTPS because when i connect to the cloud i use an HTTP address username and a password

This is only the session layer. What about the application layer?

Euuh well the application i am trying to develop is for owncloud ( https://github.com/owncloud ) i don't know how to figure the protocol for the application layer !!
Can you help me figuring that out ???

Thanks many thanks

You can probably start here:

http://api.owncloud.org/

And then possibly go here:

https://github.com/owncloud/sync-qt

ownClouds own sync solution is based on mirall https://github.com/owncloud/mirall
