How can I create a HTTP POST request with Qt 4.6.1?
- by Tobias Langner
How can I create a HTTP POST request with some URL encoded parameters using Qt 4.6.1?
I figured out that I can create a QNetworkRequest, set all the parameters there and send it via QNetworkAccessManagers post method. But how can I add some URL-encoded parameters to the request?
In the end I want to access the Eve API using Qt/C++. A Python example can be found here:
http://www.eveonline.com/api/doc/example-python.asp
I managed it using something like (still to be refactored and formed into something useful):
QNetworkReply *requestApi(QNetworkAccessManager &nwam)
{
QNetworkRequest request(QUrl("http://api.eve-online.com/account/Characters.xml.aspx"));
request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader,"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
QByteArray data;
QUrl params;
params.addQueryItem("userid","user");
params.addQueryItem("apiKey","key");
data.append(params.toString());
data.remove(0,1);
QNetworkReply *reply = nwam.post(request,data);
return reply;
}
