[Solved] QNAM : check if range header supported
-
You can't know anything about the server before contacting it. The only way to check if it supports partial content is to ask for some, ideally a small part of small file not to wait and waste bandwidth if it sends the whole thing. If the server supports partial content it will respond with 206 status code instead of the usual 200.

Hi,
Try with "QNetworkAccessManager::head":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qnetworkaccessmanager.html#head. Then in reply you can check for the particular header.

Okay. Thanks!
How can I check those status code and I have read somewhere some servers does not sends 206 but supports that header. Is there any way to tackle that?? -

bq. How can I check those status code
@
//reply is the QNetworkReply*
reply->attribute(QNetworkRequest::HttpStatusCodeAttribute);
@As for the broken servers you'd have to compare sizes. Request for e.g. 1 byte of a larger file and see if you get the byte or the whole thing in reply.

I have tried with these two links : http://ashish-bansal.in/css/loader.css and
https://s.basketbuild.com/dl/devs?dl=pawitp/i9082_cm12.0/cm-12-20141220-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zipAnd like this.
@QNetworkReply *headReply = qnam->head(*req);
qDebug() << headReply->rawHeaderList();@And I am getting this as output.

You can't check any contents of the reply before it arrives. Neither the method I gave nor that one will work this way. You need to connect to the finished() signal of the reply and check then.

Oh that's why that method didn't worked. While testing your method, I made the changes in slot connected to QNetworkReply::downloadProgress . That's why it worked.

QNetworkAccessManager::head works as expected for those URL's.
