QDesktopServices::openUrl - Problem

[rmagro]

Hi guys,

I can't get the service "QDesktopServices:penUrl" always work (in every Pcs..)

I basically use the following code:

QString mY_url = QString("https://.....");
 
QUrl urlEncoded = QUrl::fromEncoded(mY_url.toAscii());
QUrl url(urlEncoded.toString());
 
bool isURLopened = QDesktopServices::openUrl ( url );

QString mY_url = QString("https://.....");

QUrl urlEncoded = QUrl::fromEncoded(mY_url.toAscii());
QUrl url(urlEncoded.toString());

bool isURLopened = QDesktopServices::openUrl ( url );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Sometimes "isURLopened" is 0 and the page is not open..

I would like to ask you if there is something wrong with the code above..
and what I can try to solve the problem.

many Thanks

Roby

PS:
to be precise mY_url is:

https://sis-bankpass.ssb.it/bankpass...pc-servizi.com

There's a pretty big chance of me being wrong but could it be because of https...if you try open google,it opens as http://www.google.com but if you try some secure network site it opens as https://......so,maybe that's creating the problem.Also is the 'toascii' and 'fromencoded' needed for 'https'?I tried opening 'orkut' using QDesktopService a few months back.It was a one line code.I didn't use 'fromencoded' and 'toascii'....ofcourse they might be used for secure networks.

Thanks for your reply..

So you mean I should directly try something like:

QString mY_url = QString("https://....."); //URL in Encoded form
QUrl url(mY_url);
bool isURLopened = QDesktopServices::openUrl ( url );

QString mY_url = QString("https://....."); //URL in Encoded form
QUrl url(mY_url);
bool isURLopened = QDesktopServices::openUrl ( url );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

even if "mY_url" is in an encoded form ??

Is QDesktopServices:penUr the right way to open https URL ??
does another better way to do the work exist?

Thx,

yes, u dont need to change anything, this will work..Also, what are you trying to do with this url..does ur application require to JUST open this url in a browser or does your application wants to do smth with this url?

[rmagro]

Yes, I'm only trying to open this url in a browser...
I don't understand why in some computers it returns "0", not opening the web page..

Thx

what computers?

[rmagro]

computers with windows xp on board, but maybe where the a firewall block 443 https port..

(??)

[talk2amulya]

umm..i dont think it should be the firewall, even if it is, it should at least open the browser? did u try to debug it? is it going till launchWebBrowser()?
