Convert HTTP QUrl to file path on the server

[atomic]

Maybe someone know how I can get relative to specific folder file path from url for example

from

"http://doc.qt.io/documents/readme.txt"

get only

documents/readme.txt

without first slash "/"

from

"/video/Qt/example.avi"

get only

video/Qt/example.avi

without first slash "/"

I get several form of url from client applications but I need from that only file path without first "/" because then I can easily doing something like

QFileInfo(path).lastModified();

QFileInfo(path).lastModified();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

How I can parse url for this format?

This statement

QFileInfo(url2.path()).filePath();

QFileInfo(url2.path()).filePath();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

return file path but always with first slash "/", so then I need to remove it

path.remove(0, 1);

path.remove(0, 1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It is a good solution? Or maybe QUrl have some better way?

Thanks,

QString was not meant for a canonical url representation. It is a string class existing mostly due to the utf use cases.
What you are looking for is QUrl which was meant for use cases like this. Pass your path to that, and then get the "QFile-readable" path out of that, then pass it to QFile.

This code solved my problem

QString path = QFileInfo(url.path()).filePath();
qDebug()<< QDir("/").relativeFilePath(path);

QString path = QFileInfo(url.path()).filePath();
qDebug()<< QDir("/").relativeFilePath(path);
