QTcpSocket server keeps reading the messages from the client

[saifulkhan]

void FortuneThread::run()
{
    QTcpSocket tcpSocket;
    if (!tcpSocket.setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor)) {
        emit error(tcpSocket.error());
        return;
    }
 
    QByteArray block;
    QDataStream out(&block, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
    out.setVersion(QDataStream::Qt_4_0);
    out << (quint16)0;
    out << text;
    out.device()->seek(0);
    out << (quint16)(block.size() - sizeof(quint16));
 
    tcpSocket.write(block);
 
    // Here !!
 
    tcpSocket.disconnectFromHost();
    tcpSocket.waitForDisconnected();
}

void FortuneThread::run()
{
    QTcpSocket tcpSocket;
    if (!tcpSocket.setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor)) {
        emit error(tcpSocket.error());
        return;
    }

    QByteArray block;
    QDataStream out(&block, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
    out.setVersion(QDataStream::Qt_4_0);
    out << (quint16)0;
    out << text;
    out.device()->seek(0);
    out << (quint16)(block.size() - sizeof(quint16));

    tcpSocket.write(block);

    // Here !!

    tcpSocket.disconnectFromHost();
    tcpSocket.waitForDisconnected();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Say, in the fortune thread example, after sending (write) the text to the client, I want this particular thread to keep alive and keep reading different messages sent from the client, until client closes the connection (I guess by when client will invoke QTcpSocket ::abort() or QTcpSocket::disconnectfromHost()). Can you please suggest me how can I do this?

Thanks

waitForReadyRead?

I would use this http://www.bogotobogo.com/Qt/Qt5_QTc...ent_Server.php
And do
tcpSocket.disconnectFromHost();
tcpSocket.waitForDisconnected();
from client

I wouldn't. The tutorial is wrong.

So agree with you.

So agree with you.

May you explain why is that tutorial wrong ?
