[SOLVED] QNetworkAccessManager::get timeout?

[floatingWoods]

Hello,

how can I control the timeout of a QNetworkAccessManager::get?
I mean, if there is no internet connection, or the file is not available/reachable, how long will it try before giving up? Do I have a control over the timeout?

Thanks

@floatingWoods Since there is still no built-in way to do that you will have to rely on implementing your own Timers for aborting it after a particular time.

Here is a demo.

Hi,

the timer solution suggested by @p3c0 and @MayEnjoy is OK.
Is important to call QNetworkReply::abort() in the timeout handle otherwise network resources will be not freed.

Thank you both for the good suggestions!

A last related question: how can I simulate a long timeout? I am trying to get a file with:

networkAccessManager->get(QNetworkRequest(QUrl("http://www.google.com/aFile.txt")));

When I enter an invalid address or an inexistant file, the finished signal is fired after 1-2 seconds only, which wouldn't be a problem. I want to avoid the other, much longer timeouts that can last up to 30 seconds. And to provoque this long waiting time, how should my code line look like?

Thanks

You can create your own web server (for example with Python SimpleHTTPServer and simulate a long time response
