QNetworkReply and https

[Raadush]

Hi, im using Qt 4.8.4 and i'm having problem sending through https protocol. Im having this code:

int CardManager::postZipFile(QString cardNumber, QString bankerName, QString filename)
{
    unsigned int r=0;
 
    QNetworkAccessManager *manager = new QNetworkAccessManager();
 
    QNetworkRequest request(QUrl(diagUrl.toUtf8()));
 
    QHttpMultiPart *multipart = new QHttpMultiPart(QHttpMultiPart::FormDataType);
 
    QHttpPart chipCardSn;
    chipCardSn.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; name=\"chipcardsn\""));
    chipCardSn.setBody(cardNumber.toUtf8());
 
    QHttpPart banker;
    banker.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; charset=iso-8859-2; name=\"banker\""));
    banker.setBody(bankerName.toUtf8());
 
    QHttpPart fileName;
    fileName.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; charset=iso-8859-2; name=\"FileName\""));
    fileName.setBody(filename.toUtf8());
 
    QHttpPart diagnostics;
    diagnostics.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; name=\"Diagnostics\""));
    diagnostics.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, QVariant("application/x-zip-compressed"));
 
    //load zip a convert to base64
    int length;
    char * buffer;
 
    ifstream is;
    is.open ("/tmp/" + filename.toUtf8(), ios::binary );
 
    // get length of file:
    is.seekg (0, ios::end);
    length = is.tellg();
    is.seekg (0, ios::beg);
 
    // allocate memory:
    buffer = new char [length];
 
    // read data as a block:
    is.read (buffer,length);
    is.close();
 
    QByteArray array;
    for(int i=0; i<length; i++)
    {
        array[i] = buffer[i];
    }
 
    array=array.toBase64();
    for(int i=56; i<array.length(); i+=57)
    {
        array.insert(i, "\n");
    }
 
    diagnostics.setBody(array);
 
    multipart->append(chipCardSn);
    multipart->append(banker);
    multipart->append(fileName);
    multipart->append(diagnostics);
 
    QEventLoop loop;
    QNetworkReply *reply = manager->post(request, multipart);
    reply->ignoreSslErrors();
    connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()), &loop, SLOT(quit()));
 
    QTimer timer;
    timer.singleShot(30000, &loop, SLOT(quit()));
    loop.exec();
 
    if(reply->isFinished())
    {
        return 0;
    } else
       return 1; 
   }
}

int CardManager::postZipFile(QString cardNumber, QString bankerName, QString filename)
{
    unsigned int r=0;

    QNetworkAccessManager *manager = new QNetworkAccessManager();

    QNetworkRequest request(QUrl(diagUrl.toUtf8()));

    QHttpMultiPart *multipart = new QHttpMultiPart(QHttpMultiPart::FormDataType);

    QHttpPart chipCardSn;
    chipCardSn.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; name=\"chipcardsn\""));
    chipCardSn.setBody(cardNumber.toUtf8());

    QHttpPart banker;
    banker.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; charset=iso-8859-2; name=\"banker\""));
    banker.setBody(bankerName.toUtf8());

    QHttpPart fileName;
    fileName.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; charset=iso-8859-2; name=\"FileName\""));
    fileName.setBody(filename.toUtf8());

    QEventLoop loop;
    QNetworkReply *reply = manager->post(request, multipart);
    reply->ignoreSslErrors();
    connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()), &loop, SLOT(quit()));

    QTimer timer;
    timer.singleShot(30000, &loop, SLOT(quit()));
    loop.exec();

    if(reply->isFinished())
    {
        return 0;
    } else
       return 1; 
   }
}

When Im running this code with http address in diagUrl string, everything works fine. But when I try to send via https, reply is never finished and this function ends with timer timeout. Tried to connect reply's signal sslErrors to ingoreSslErrors slot, but getting Object::connect: No such signal QNetworkReplyImpl::sslErrors(QList<QSslError>). Any help with that? I really dont know what's wrong :/

Can you show the connect statement that didn't work?

Are you sure you want to use HTTPS when you ignore SSL errors anyway?

I am wondering that this works at all since you are sending headers in wrong encodings. Probably lucky and the strings only contain ASCII.

Cheers,

P.S. have a look at QFile::readAll()

Make sure you do not have a firewall dropping your connection into a black hole.
