HTTPS request returns damaged HTML body

NICE! It works!

Thank you very much!

both tips were very useful:

1. After I changed Accpt–encoding to none, I got some readable text, but not everything.
2. But when I changed the code using a QNetworkAcessmanager, it returned everything, and the code is a lot simpler.

void MainWindow::doRequest()
{
    // INITIALIZATION
 
    // Read username, access token
    QString id = QString(ui->edUserID->text());
    QString access_token = QString(ui->edAcessToken->text());
 
 
    manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
    connect(manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(resp(QNetworkReply*)));
 
    QNetworkRequest request(
                "https://graph.facebook.com/"
                + id
                + "?fields=id,name,about,sports,likes,interests&method=GET&format=json&access_token="
                + QUrl::toPercentEncoding( access_token )
                );
    request.setRawHeader("Accept-Encoding", "none");
    request.setRawHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0");
 
    manager->get(request);
}
 
void MainWindow::resp(QNetworkReply *reply)
{
    QString responseData = QString::fromAscii(reply->readAll());
    ui->edResponse->setText( ui->edResponse->toPlainText() + "\r\n" +  responseData);
}

void MainWindow::doRequest()
{
    // INITIALIZATION

    // Read username, access token
    QString id = QString(ui->edUserID->text());
    QString access_token = QString(ui->edAcessToken->text());


    manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
    connect(manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(resp(QNetworkReply*)));

    QNetworkRequest request(
                "https://graph.facebook.com/"
                + id
                + "?fields=id,name,about,sports,likes,interests&method=GET&format=json&access_token="
                + QUrl::toPercentEncoding( access_token )
                );
    request.setRawHeader("Accept-Encoding", "none");
    request.setRawHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0");

    manager->get(request);
}

void MainWindow::resp(QNetworkReply *reply)
{
    QString responseData = QString::fromAscii(reply->readAll());
    ui->edResponse->setText( ui->edResponse->toPlainText() + "\r\n" +  responseData);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I wish you a nice day
