incommingConnection not called by QTcpServer

[wysota]

i ddnt ask to design a protocol for me
i simply asked for help via email thats all
i know networking, i took networking courses and do understand what you say about tcp and http and all that networking stuff

Great. In that case you'll know how to coupe with things like segment fragmentation (although history of this thread claims to think otherwise). That's the basic thing you need to be aware of. There is a difference between "networking" and "protocol design", I hope you understand it.

but u ddnt answer me about the QAuthenticator ?

QAuthenticator is a class for carrying realm/user/password information, usually for HTTP-Basic authentication. It doesn't do any authentication on its own, it's just means of storing information.

what i meant here is that i have a QTcpServer instance(mServer) in my server class
so i was expecting the incommingConnection to be invoked from it

QTcpServer::incomingConnection on mServer is invoked as expected. You can easily verify that by putting a debugger break point into it.

Actually the base class implementation adds a QTcpSocket to pending connections and emits newConnection(), so you don't even have to use a break point for verification
