|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The QHttp class provides an implementation of the HTTP protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> This class provides two different interfaces: one is the
|
||
|
|
<a href="qnetworkprotocol.html">QNetworkProtocol</a> interface that allows you to use HTTP through the
|
||
|
|
<a href="qurloperator.html">QUrlOperator</a> abstraction. The other is a direct interface to HTTP
|
||
|
|
that allows you to have more control over the requests and that
|
||
|
|
allows you to access the response header fields.
|
||
|
|
<p> Don't mix the two interfaces, since the behavior is not
|
||
|
|
well-defined.
|
||
|
|
<p> If you want to use QHttp with the QNetworkProtocol interface, you
|
||
|
|
do not use it directly, but rather through a QUrlOperator, for
|
||
|
|
example:
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
<a href="qurloperator.html">QUrlOperator</a> op( "http://www.trolltech.com" );
|
||
|
|
op.<a href="qurloperator.html#get">get</a>( "index.html" );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> This code will only work if the QHttp class is registered; to
|
||
|
|
register the class, you must call <a href="qurloperator.html#qInitNetworkProtocols">qInitNetworkProtocols</a>() before
|
||
|
|
using a QUrlOperator with HTTP.
|
||
|
|
<p> The QNetworkProtocol interface for HTTP only supports the
|
||
|
|
operations <a href="qnetworkprotocol.html#operationGet">operationGet</a>() and <a href="qnetworkprotocol.html#operationPut">operationPut</a>(), i.e.
|
||
|
|
<a href="qurloperator.html#get">QUrlOperator::get</a>() and <a href="qurloperator.html#put">QUrlOperator::put</a>(), if you use it with a
|
||
|
|
<a href="qurloperator.html">QUrlOperator</a>.
|
||
|
|
<p> The rest of this descrption describes the direct interface to
|
||
|
|
HTTP.
|
||
|
|
<p> The class works asynchronously, so there are no blocking
|
||
|
|
functions. If an operation cannot be executed immediately, the
|
||
|
|
function will still return straight away and the operation will be
|
||
|
|
scheduled for later execution. The results of scheduled operations
|
||
|
|
are reported via signals. This approach depends on the event loop
|
||
|
|
being in operation.
|
||
|
|
<p> The operations that can be scheduled (they are called "requests"
|
||
|
|
in the rest of the documentation) are the following: <a href="#setHost">setHost</a>(),
|
||
|
|
<a href="#get">get</a>(), <a href="#post">post</a>(), <a href="#head">head</a>() and <a href="#request">request</a>().
|
||
|
|
<p> All of these requests return a unique identifier that allows you
|
||
|
|
to keep track of the request that is currently executed. When the
|
||
|
|
execution of a request starts, the <a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>() signal with
|
||
|
|
the identifier is emitted and when the request is finished, the
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>() signal is emitted with the identifier and a bool
|
||
|
|
that indicates if the request finished with an error.
|
||
|
|
<p> To make an HTTP request you must set up suitable HTTP headers. The
|
||
|
|
following example demonstrates, how to request the main HTML page
|
||
|
|
from the Trolltech home page (i.e. the URL
|
||
|
|
http://www.trolltech.com/index.html):
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
<a href="qhttprequestheader.html">QHttpRequestHeader</a> header( "GET", "/index.html" );
|
||
|
|
header.<a href="qhttpheader.html#setValue">setValue</a>( "Host", "www.trolltech.com" );
|
||
|
|
http->setHost( "www.trolltech.com" );
|
||
|
|
http->request( header );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> For the common HTTP requests <tt>GET</tt>, <tt>POST</tt> and <tt>HEAD</tt>, QHttp
|
||
|
|
provides the convenience functions <a href="#get">get</a>(), <a href="#post">post</a>() and <a href="#head">head</a>(). They
|
||
|
|
already use a reasonable header and if you don't have to set
|
||
|
|
special header fields, they are easier to use. The above example
|
||
|
|
can also be written as:
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
http->setHost( "www.trolltech.com" ); // id == 1
|
||
|
|
http->get( "/index.html" ); // id == 2
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> For this example the following sequence of signals is emitted
|
||
|
|
(with small variations, depending on network traffic, etc.):
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 1 )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 1, FALSE )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 2 )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Connecting</a> )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Sending</a> )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#dataSendProgress">dataSendProgress</a>( 77, 77 )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Reading</a> )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#responseHeaderReceived">responseHeaderReceived</a>( responseheader )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>( 5388, 0 )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>( responseheader )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>( 18300, 0 )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>( responseheader )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Connected</a> )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 2, FALSE )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a href="#done">done</a>( FALSE )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Closing</a> )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Unconnected</a> )
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> The <a href="#dataSendProgress">dataSendProgress</a>() and <a href="#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>() signals in the above
|
||
|
|
example are useful if you want to show a <a href="qprogressbar.html">progressbar</a> to inform the user about the progress of the
|
||
|
|
download. The second argument is the total size of data. In
|
||
|
|
certain cases it is not possible to know the total amount in
|
||
|
|
advance, in which case the second argument is 0. (If you connect
|
||
|
|
to a <a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a> a total of 0 results in a busy indicator.)
|
||
|
|
<p> When the response header is read, it is reported with the
|
||
|
|
<a href="#responseHeaderReceived">responseHeaderReceived</a>() signal.
|
||
|
|
<p> The <a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>() signal tells you that there is data ready to be
|
||
|
|
read. The amount of data can then be queried with the
|
||
|
|
<a href="#bytesAvailable">bytesAvailable</a>() function and it can be read with the <a href="#readBlock">readBlock</a>()
|
||
|
|
or <a href="#readAll">readAll</a>() functions.
|
||
|
|
<p> If an error occurs during the execution of one of the commands in
|
||
|
|
a sequence of commands, all the pending commands (i.e. scheduled,
|
||
|
|
but not yet executed commands) are cleared and no signals are
|
||
|
|
emitted for them.
|
||
|
|
<p> For example, if you have the following sequence of reqeusts
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
http->setHost( "www.foo.bar" ); // id == 1
|
||
|
|
http->get( "/index.html" ); // id == 2
|
||
|
|
http->post( "register.html", data ); // id == 3
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> and the <a href="#get">get</a>() request fails because the host lookup fails, then
|
||
|
|
the <a href="#post">post</a>() request is never executed and the signals would look
|
||
|
|
like this:
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 1 )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 1, FALSE )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 2 )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">HostLookup</a> )
|
||
|
|
<a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 2, TRUE )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a href="#done">done</a>( TRUE )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Unconnected</a> )
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> You can then get details about the error with the <a href="#error">error</a>() and
|
||
|
|
<a href="#errorString">errorString</a>() functions. Note that only unexpected behaviour, like
|
||
|
|
network failure is considered as an error. If the server response
|
||
|
|
contains an error status, like a 404 response, this is reported as
|
||
|
|
a normal response case. So you should always check the <a href="qhttpresponseheader.html#statusCode">status code</a> of the
|
||
|
|
response header.
|
||
|
|
<p> The functions <a href="#currentId">currentId</a>() and <a href="#currentRequest">currentRequest</a>() provide more
|
||
|
|
information about the currently executing request.
|
||
|
|
<p> The functions <a href="#hasPendingRequests">hasPendingRequests</a>() and <a href="#clearPendingRequests">clearPendingRequests</a>()
|
||
|
|
allow you to query and clear the list of pending requests.

Closes the connection; this is useful if you have a keep-alive

<p> For the requests issued with <a href="#get">get</a>(), <a href="#post">post</a>() and <a href="#head">head</a>(), QHttp sets

the connection to be keep-alive. You can also do this using the

to do so.
