QNetworkAccessManager, not using it right?

When you "sleep()" you are blocking the thread, it can't do any of the operations you are asking it to perform.

You need to allow the Qt event loop to process events.

One option is to use a nested event loop

QEventLoop loop;
connect(nr, SIGNAL(finished()), &loop, SLOT(quit()));  // or the equivalent function pointer based syntax
loop.exec();

QEventLoop loop;
connect(nr, SIGNAL(finished()), &loop, SLOT(quit()));  // or the equivalent function pointer based syntax
loop.exec();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Okay this works. What are the SSL warnings about? How do I get rid of them?

[anda_skoa]

Not sure, maybe a missing OpenSSL library?

But since you don't need SSL, you can just ignore those.
