[SOLVED] Using QHttpMultipart for a HTML form
-
Greetings!
I got a problem with QNetworkAccessmanager::post() method in uploading a file programmatically using QHttpMultipart.
I got success using an HTML form via QWebView. The HTML form looks like this:
@<form method="post" action="[url value received in response]" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!-- MUST FIELDS -->
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="[max_file_size value received in response]">
<input type="hidden" name="UPLOAD_IDENTIFIER" value="[upload_identifier value received in response]">
<input type="hidden" name="extra_info" value="[extra_info value received in response]">
<input type="file" name="userfile">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>@It doesn't help a lot since I need to select a file (without user interaction) and submit it to a certain url. I followed the guide in the QHttpmultipart documentation but "fails" every-time.

I already solved it. Seems like there is something wrong with the documentation for QHttpMultiPart. The documentation points out RFC 2046 but can't find the answer as I search for it.
I was able to google RFC 1867 which solved the problem.
In the documentation:
@QHttpPart imagePart;
imagePart.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, QVariant("image/jpeg"));
imagePart.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentDispositionHeader, QVariant("form-data; name="image""));@I think the problem was that ContentDispositionHeader should come first before ContentTypeHeader.
I tried this using the "file" input control and not with an "image" as cited in the code; -
Seems like my method is too buggy. Sometimes it uploads a file and sometimes it doesn't.... I don't know why.
Well, I found a solution from "TuckDesgin":http://www.tuckdesign.com/sources/Qt and modified it.
... and it worked for me everytime, I just need to test it again and again just to make sure.
