    yeah, my bad, just noticed that too. And I haven't tried to compile it, it was using his code as starting point. He could percent encode the name only.....

      This is completely nonsense. Not only that doesn't compile, but there's no QNetworkRequest(QByteArray) ctor
      [/quote]

      The compiler will call the non-explicit QString(QByteArray) constructor for this, unless QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII is defined.

        Nope -- QNetwokRequest wants a QUrl. There are two conversions to be made (QByteArray -> QString -> QUrl), and C++ forbids that (not to mention the fact that you can disable either of them with macros).

            Constructing a valid QUrl to pass to QNetworkRequest sounds like a reasonable path to walk...

                As I said, dump HTTP headers and inspect them.

                  Eek, you're right. I mixed up the parentheses. I need to do more LISP to get used to that ;-)

                    You might want to read the documentation for QUrl::fromUserInput then. It contains some more info on how to deal with string encodings and the likes.

                      Solved!!!
                      Below the solution about my problem:

                      @
                      QString strUrl="http://myStore-dev.com/zip/mioFile%2_B.zip";

                      QByteArray baUrl(strUrl.toAscii().data());

                      QUrl tmpUrl1;
                      tmpUrl1.setEncodedUrl(baUrl);
                      iNetReply = iNetManager->get(QNetworkRequest(tmpUrl1));
                      @

                      Thanks to all.

                      Bye bye.
