|
---|
84 |
|
---|
85 |
|
---|
86 | The QHttp class provides an implementation of the HTTP protocol.
|
---|
87 |
|
---|
88 | <p>
|
---|
89 |
|
---|
90 | <p> This class provides two different interfaces: one is the
|
---|
91 | <a href="qnetworkprotocol.html">QNetworkProtocol</a> interface that allows you to use HTTP through the
|
---|
92 | <a href="qurloperator.html">QUrlOperator</a> abstraction. The other is a direct interface to HTTP
|
---|
93 | that allows you to have more control over the requests and that
|
---|
94 | allows you to access the response header fields.
|
---|
95 | <p> Don't mix the two interfaces, since the behavior is not
|
---|
96 | well-defined.
|
---|
97 | <p> If you want to use QHttp with the QNetworkProtocol interface, you
|
---|
98 | do not use it directly, but rather through a QUrlOperator, for
|
---|
99 | example:
|
---|
100 | <p> <pre>
|
---|
101 | <a href="qurloperator.html">QUrlOperator</a> op( "http://www.trolltech.com" );
|
---|
102 | op.<a href="qurloperator.html#get">get</a>( "index.html" );
|
---|
103 | </pre>
|
---|
104 |
|
---|
105 | <p> This code will only work if the QHttp class is registered; to
|
---|
106 | register the class, you must call <a href="qurloperator.html#qInitNetworkProtocols">qInitNetworkProtocols</a>() before
|
---|
107 | using a QUrlOperator with HTTP.
|
---|
108 | <p> The QNetworkProtocol interface for HTTP only supports the
|
---|
109 | operations <a href="qnetworkprotocol.html#operationGet">operationGet</a>() and <a href="qnetworkprotocol.html#operationPut">operationPut</a>(), i.e.
|
---|
110 | <a href="qurloperator.html#get">QUrlOperator::get</a>() and <a href="qurloperator.html#put">QUrlOperator::put</a>(), if you use it with a
|
---|
111 | <a href="qurloperator.html">QUrlOperator</a>.
|
---|
112 | <p> The rest of this descrption describes the direct interface to
|
---|
113 | HTTP.
|
---|
114 | <p> The class works asynchronously, so there are no blocking
|
---|
115 | functions. If an operation cannot be executed immediately, the
|
---|
116 | function will still return straight away and the operation will be
|
---|
117 | scheduled for later execution. The results of scheduled operations
|
---|
118 | are reported via signals. This approach depends on the event loop
|
---|
119 | being in operation.
|
---|
120 | <p> The operations that can be scheduled (they are called "requests"
|
---|
121 | in the rest of the documentation) are the following: <a href="#setHost">setHost</a>(),
|
---|
122 | <a href="#get">get</a>(), <a href="#post">post</a>(), <a href="#head">head</a>() and <a href="#request">request</a>().
|
---|
123 | <p> All of these requests return a unique identifier that allows you
|
---|
124 | to keep track of the request that is currently executed. When the
|
---|
125 | execution of a request starts, the <a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>() signal with
|
---|
126 | the identifier is emitted and when the request is finished, the
|
---|
127 | <a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>() signal is emitted with the identifier and a bool
|
---|
128 | that indicates if the request finished with an error.
|
---|
129 | <p> To make an HTTP request you must set up suitable HTTP headers. The
|
---|
130 | following example demonstrates, how to request the main HTML page
|
---|
131 | from the Trolltech home page (i.e. the URL
|
---|
132 | http://www.trolltech.com/index.html):
|
---|
133 | <p> <pre>
|
---|
134 | <a href="qhttprequestheader.html">QHttpRequestHeader</a> header( "GET", "/index.html" );
|
---|
135 | header.<a href="qhttpheader.html#setValue">setValue</a>( "Host", "www.trolltech.com" );
|
---|
136 | http->setHost( "www.trolltech.com" );
|
---|
137 | http->request( header );
|
---|
138 | </pre>
|
---|
139 |
|
---|
140 | <p> For the common HTTP requests <tt>GET</tt>, <tt>POST</tt> and <tt>HEAD</tt>, QHttp
|
---|
141 | provides the convenience functions <a href="#get">get</a>(), <a href="#post">post</a>() and <a href="#head">head</a>(). They
|
---|
142 | already use a reasonable header and if you don't have to set
|
---|
143 | special header fields, they are easier to use. The above example
|
---|
144 | can also be written as:
|
---|
145 | <p> <pre>
|
---|
146 | http->setHost( "www.trolltech.com" ); // id == 1
|
---|
147 | http->get( "/index.html" ); // id == 2
|
---|
148 | </pre>
|
---|
149 |
|
---|
150 | <p> For this example the following sequence of signals is emitted
|
---|
151 | (with small variations, depending on network traffic, etc.):
|
---|
152 | <p> <pre>
|
---|
153 | <a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 1 )
|
---|
154 | <a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 1, FALSE )
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | <a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 2 )
|
---|
157 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Connecting</a> )
|
---|
158 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Sending</a> )
|
---|
159 | <a href="#dataSendProgress">dataSendProgress</a>( 77, 77 )
|
---|
160 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Reading</a> )
|
---|
161 | <a href="#responseHeaderReceived">responseHeaderReceived</a>( responseheader )
|
---|
162 | <a href="#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>( 5388, 0 )
|
---|
163 | <a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>( responseheader )
|
---|
164 | <a href="#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>( 18300, 0 )
|
---|
165 | <a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>( responseheader )
|
---|
166 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Connected</a> )
|
---|
167 | <a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 2, FALSE )
|
---|
168 |
|
---|
169 | <a href="#done">done</a>( FALSE )
|
---|
170 |
|
---|
171 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Closing</a> )
|
---|
172 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Unconnected</a> )
|
---|
173 | </pre>
|
---|
174 |
|
---|
175 | <p> The <a href="#dataSendProgress">dataSendProgress</a>() and <a href="#dataReadProgress">dataReadProgress</a>() signals in the above
|
---|
176 | example are useful if you want to show a <a href="qprogressbar.html">progressbar</a> to inform the user about the progress of the
|
---|
177 | download. The second argument is the total size of data. In
|
---|
178 | certain cases it is not possible to know the total amount in
|
---|
179 | advance, in which case the second argument is 0. (If you connect
|
---|
180 | to a <a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a> a total of 0 results in a busy indicator.)
|
---|
181 | <p> When the response header is read, it is reported with the
|
---|
182 | <a href="#responseHeaderReceived">responseHeaderReceived</a>() signal.
|
---|
183 | <p> The <a href="#readyRead">readyRead</a>() signal tells you that there is data ready to be
|
---|
184 | read. The amount of data can then be queried with the
|
---|
185 | <a href="#bytesAvailable">bytesAvailable</a>() function and it can be read with the <a href="#readBlock">readBlock</a>()
|
---|
186 | or <a href="#readAll">readAll</a>() functions.
|
---|
187 | <p> If an error occurs during the execution of one of the commands in
|
---|
188 | a sequence of commands, all the pending commands (i.e. scheduled,
|
---|
189 | but not yet executed commands) are cleared and no signals are
|
---|
190 | emitted for them.
|
---|
191 | <p> For example, if you have the following sequence of reqeusts
|
---|
192 | <p> <pre>
|
---|
193 | http->setHost( "www.foo.bar" ); // id == 1
|
---|
194 | http->get( "/index.html" ); // id == 2
|
---|
195 | http->post( "register.html", data ); // id == 3
|
---|
196 | </pre>
|
---|
197 |
|
---|
198 | <p> and the <a href="#get">get</a>() request fails because the host lookup fails, then
|
---|
199 | the <a href="#post">post</a>() request is never executed and the signals would look
|
---|
200 | like this:
|
---|
201 | <p> <pre>
|
---|
202 | <a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 1 )
|
---|
203 | <a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 1, FALSE )
|
---|
204 |
|
---|
205 | <a href="#requestStarted">requestStarted</a>( 2 )
|
---|
206 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">HostLookup</a> )
|
---|
207 | <a href="#requestFinished">requestFinished</a>( 2, TRUE )
|
---|
208 |
|
---|
209 | <a href="#done">done</a>( TRUE )
|
---|
210 |
|
---|
211 | <a href="#stateChanged">stateChanged</a>( <a href="#State-enum">Unconnected</a> )
|
---|
212 | </pre>
|
---|
213 |
|
---|
214 | <p> You can then get details about the error with the <a href="#error">error</a>() and
|
---|
215 | <a href="#errorString">errorString</a>() functions. Note that only unexpected behaviour, like
|
---|
216 | network failure is considered as an error. If the server response
|
---|
217 | contains an error status, like a 404 response, this is reported as
|
---|
218 | a normal response case. So you should always check the <a href="qhttpresponseheader.html#statusCode">status code</a> of the
|
---|
219 | response header.
|
---|
220 | <p> The functions <a href="#currentId">currentId</a>() and <a href="#currentRequest">currentRequest</a>() provide more
|
---|
221 | information about the currently executing request.
|
---|
222 | <p> The functions <a href="#hasPendingRequests">hasPendingRequests</a>() and <a href="#clearPendingRequests">clearPendingRequests</a>()
|
---|
223 | allow you to query and clear the list of pending requests.
