QHttp::post() - cannot upload file

[arunredi]

I'm trying to upload the file using Qhttp::post(). But the file on the other end goes in as null. I double checked to match exactly how the web browser posts it using http header plugin for Mozilla and both are sending the same data but the file is not being posted by my Qt app.

here is my code:

void Snipitron::connectS()
{
	http = new QHttp(this);
	connect(http, SIGNAL(responseHeaderReceived(const QHttpResponseHeader &)),
             this, SLOT(readResponseHeader(const QHttpResponseHeader &)));
	connect(http, SIGNAL(readyRead(const QHttpResponseHeader&)), 
			 this, SLOT(readyRead(const QHttpResponseHeader&)));
 
 
	 http->setHost("www.example.com");
 
	QString initialPath = QDir::currentPath() + tr("/unt.") + "jpeg";
	userfile = new QFile(initialPath);
 
	QByteArray data,payLoad;
	QString boundary="-----------------------------AaB03x";
	QString endline="\r\n";
	QString start_delim="--"+boundary+endline;
	QString cont_disp_str="Content-Disposition: form-data; ";
 
	QString user_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"user\""+endline+endline+"arun"+endline;
	data.append(QString(user_str).toUtf8());
 
	QString pass_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"pass\""+endline+endline+"1a27452283b0b46720913760f056377eb0b6388c"+endline;
	data.append(QString(pass_str).toUtf8());
 
	QString proj_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"project_name\""+endline+endline+"Misc"+endline;
	data.append(QString(proj_str).toUtf8());
 
	QString projId_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"project_id\""+endline+endline+"1951"+endline;
	data.append(QString(projId_str).toUtf8());
 
	QString notes_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"title\""+endline+endline+"Test project add - Qt way"+endline;
	data.append(QString(notes_str).toUtf8());
 
	if (!userfile->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
		QMessageBox::critical(this, "Arun", "File not found", QMessageBox::Ok, QMessageBox::NoButton, QMessageBox::NoButton);
 
 
	QString title_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"uploadfile1\""+ ";filename=unt.jpeg" +endline + "Content-Type: image/jpeg" +endline+endline;
	title_str.append(userfile->readAll());
	title_str = title_str + endline;
	data.append(QString(title_str).toUtf8());
	userfile->close(); // the file is opened earlier in the code
 
	QString v_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"v\""+endline+endline+"1.0"+endline;
	//data.writeRawBytes(v_str.data(),v_str.length());
	data.append(QString(v_str).toUtf8());
 
	QString cmd_str = start_delim + cont_disp_str + "name=" + "\"command\""+endline+endline+"add"+endline;
	//data.writeRawBytes(cmd_str.data(),cmd_str.length());
	data.append(QString(cmd_str).toUtf8());
 
	QString stop_delim="--"+boundary+"--"+endline;
	data.append(QString(stop_delim).toUtf8());
 
	QHttpRequestHeader header("POST", "/app/submit.jsp");
	header.setValue("Host", "www.example.com");
	header.setContentType("multipart/form-data, boundary=-----------------------------AaB03x");
	header.setContentLength(data.length());
