Qt Jambi Webkit Custom Protocol

**tgl** · 2nd July 2009, 13:55

I'm trying to add a custom protocol to QtWebView called "local://". I followed an example for python I found here:

http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/U...ith%20QtWebKit

and converted it to Java. It kind of works, but there is some sort of character encoding issues I can't figure out. Here is the example Java code I created....

LocalNetworkReply:

Qt Code:

Switch view

public class LocalNetworkReply extends QNetworkReply {
 
	private String content;
	private int offset = 0;
 
	public LocalNetworkReply(Operation op, QNetworkRequest request, QIODevice outgoingData){
		super();
 
		this.content = "<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>This is a test.</body></html>";
		this.offset = 0;
 
		this.setHeader(QNetworkRequest.KnownHeaders.ContentTypeHeader, "text/html; charset=UTF-8");
        this.setHeader(QNetworkRequest.KnownHeaders.ContentLengthHeader, (this.content.length()));
 
 
		QIODevice.OpenModeFlag[] flags = new QIODevice.OpenModeFlag[2];
		flags[0] = QIODevice.OpenModeFlag.ReadOnly;
		flags[1] = QIODevice.OpenModeFlag.Unbuffered;
 
		QTimer.singleShot(0, this, "readyRead()");
		QTimer.singleShot(0, this, "finished()");
 
		this.open(flags);
		this.setUrl(request.url());
	}
 
	@Override
	public boolean isSequential() {
		return true;
	}
 
	@Override
	public long bytesAvailable() {
		return this.content.getBytes().length - this.offset;
	}
 
	@Override
	public void abort() {
		System.out.println("Abort called");
	}
 
	@Override
	protected int readData(byte[] data) {
		try {
			data = this.content.getBytes("UTF-8");
			System.out.println(new String(data,"UTF-8"));
			System.out.println(data.length);
			System.out.println(this.content.getBytes().length);
		} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return data.length;
	}
}

public class LocalNetworkReply extends QNetworkReply {

	private String content;
	private int offset = 0;
	
	public LocalNetworkReply(Operation op, QNetworkRequest request, QIODevice outgoingData){
		super();
		
		this.content = "<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>This is a test.</body></html>";
		this.offset = 0;
		
		this.setHeader(QNetworkRequest.KnownHeaders.ContentTypeHeader, "text/html; charset=UTF-8");
        this.setHeader(QNetworkRequest.KnownHeaders.ContentLengthHeader, (this.content.length()));
        
		
		QIODevice.OpenModeFlag[] flags = new QIODevice.OpenModeFlag[2];
		flags[0] = QIODevice.OpenModeFlag.ReadOnly;
		flags[1] = QIODevice.OpenModeFlag.Unbuffered;
		
		QTimer.singleShot(0, this, "readyRead()");
		QTimer.singleShot(0, this, "finished()");
		
		this.open(flags);
		this.setUrl(request.url());
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean isSequential() {
		return true;
	}

	@Override
	public long bytesAvailable() {
		return this.content.getBytes().length - this.offset;
	}

	@Override
	public void abort() {
		System.out.println("Abort called");
	}

	@Override
	protected int readData(byte[] data) {
		try {
			data = this.content.getBytes("UTF-8");
			System.out.println(new String(data,"UTF-8"));
			System.out.println(data.length);
			System.out.println(this.content.getBytes().length);
		} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return data.length;
	}
}

LocalNetworkAccessManager:

Qt Code:

Switch view

public class LocalNetworkAccessManager extends QNetworkAccessManager {
 
	public LocalNetworkAccessManager(){
		super();
	}
 
	public LocalNetworkAccessManager(QObject qObject){
		super(qObject);
 
 
	}
 
	@Override
	protected QNetworkReply createRequest(Operation op,
			QNetworkRequest request, QIODevice outgoingData) {
 
		if(request.url().scheme().equalsIgnoreCase("local") && op.compareTo(QNetworkAccessManager.Operation.GetOperation) == 0){
			LocalNetworkReply lnr = new LocalNetworkReply(op, request, outgoingData);
			return lnr;
		}else{
			return super.createRequest(op, request, outgoingData);
		}
	}	
}

public class LocalNetworkAccessManager extends QNetworkAccessManager {
	
	public LocalNetworkAccessManager(){

	}

	public LocalNetworkAccessManager(QObject qObject){
		super(qObject);
		
		
	}

			LocalNetworkReply lnr = new LocalNetworkReply(op, request, outgoingData);
			return lnr;

			return super.createRequest(op, request, outgoingData);

When I run the application, I get a bunch of garbage characters like this:

6Pj� �� 0��+ l� ��벼%��ڨ�p��%��k�

Could this be a bug in Qt?

Not likely. I would start by making this.content a byte array and not a java string. I'm also not sure that your readData() implementation is correct. It should overwrite the content of the argument passed to it. I don't know how to do that in Java but your code doesn't seem to do it (to me it looks like you overwrite the variable and not its content). Also readData() should take an integer with a maximum size of data to read.

The method signature is correct based on the javadoc. I took your suggestion about writing the data into the method parameter as opposed to what I was previously doing. I changed the code in LocalNetworkReply to this:

Qt Code:

Switch view

@Override
	protected int readData(byte[] data) {
 
		try {
			byte[] cBytes = this.content.getBytes("UTF-8");
			for(int i=0; i<cBytes.length; i++){
				data[i] = cBytes[i];
			}			
 
			System.out.println(new String(data,"UTF-8"));
			System.out.println(data.length);
			System.out.println(this.content.getBytes().length);
		} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return data.length;
	}

@Override
	protected int readData(byte[] data) {
				
		try {
			byte[] cBytes = this.content.getBytes("UTF-8");
			for(int i=0; i<cBytes.length; i++){
				data[i] = cBytes[i];
			}			
			
			System.out.println(new String(data,"UTF-8"));
			System.out.println(data.length);
			System.out.println(this.content.getBytes().length);
		} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return data.length;
	}

Using this code gives me the correct output. I will test a little more, but I think this fixed the issue I was seeing. Thanks for your help.
