QWebView local web page with remote images

[woodtluk]

Hi there

I've a QWebView that displays a local page (from resource). But there in the html code is a generated link that points to a image on a server. The server needs basic authorisation.

I do this:

class myWebView : public QWebView {
...
 
void showInfo() {
  QString strHtml = loadPageFromRessource();
 
  // generates the absolute url to the image on the server
  QUrl urlImg = generateImageUrl();
  urlImage.setUserName("myUsername");
  urlImage.setPassword("myPassword");
 
  // replaces the "%%imgUrl%%" placeholder in the html code with the url of the image
  strHtml.replace("%%imgUrl%%", urlImge.toString());
 
  // I've also some images as resources. So the base url to the resources has to be set.
  setHtml(strHtml, QUrl(m_strBaseResoucesUrl));
 
}
 
}

class myWebView : public QWebView {
...

void showInfo() {
  QString strHtml = loadPageFromRessource();
  
  // generates the absolute url to the image on the server
  QUrl urlImg = generateImageUrl();
  urlImage.setUserName("myUsername");
  urlImage.setPassword("myPassword");

  // replaces the "%%imgUrl%%" placeholder in the html code with the url of the image
  strHtml.replace("%%imgUrl%%", urlImge.toString());

  // I've also some images as resources. So the base url to the resources has to be set.
  setHtml(strHtml, QUrl(m_strBaseResoucesUrl));

}

}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But the image is not loaded. If I don't set the username and password there is a dummy image with a questionmark in the web view shown. If I set the username and password no immage at all is shown.

Any suggestions?
Thanks Luke
