How can I get things from website

@JKSH
I this function will show the content out?

qDebug()<<output;

If it is why it showed NULL on the console. here
I thought it will print the Url information which i had just gave you "Updated ok!".

@victor-wang

I add this after connect instead of replyFinished slot.

file.setFileName("/home/check.txt");
if(!file.exist)qDebug("not exist");
if(!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOny | QIODevice::Text))qDebug("not write success");
stream.setDevice(&file);
stream<<out;
file.close;

But when i went to cat the check.txt there is nothing in the file.

And i add this in my replyFinished slot.

out=reply->readAll();
qDebug()<<out;
reply->deleteLater();

The "QByteArray out" i had declared it in the mainwidow.h for global type.
Did i need to put in the private place or the public place in the mainwindow.h?

Why i still didn't see anything in my file?

Yes.

No, no need.

That definitely won't work, because you haven't received the data yet.

Remember, networking is asynchronous. You can only read the data after the finished() signal is emitted.

If it is why it showed NULL on the console. here

This is where you need to start debugging and testing.

1. What do you get when you type your URL into your browser?
2. What happens when you change the URL to http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo ?
3. Is your QNetworkRequest constructed correctly?
4. Is your device on the same subnet as the server?

[victor wang]

@JKSH
Is that you mean i have to add this QFile function in the replyFinisheed() slot?
Or i have to do it when the finished signal is up?
If it is how can i judge the signal and where do i have to add the function in?

For the first of debugging and testing.
I will get this on my browser. here

For the second one, i'm not quite sure what does that mean.

For third one, what does"QNetworkRequest constructly correctly"mean?
I thought i am using the library that Qt have already constructed.

For forth one, I'm sure i am on the same subnet because i can send this commend to my console

wget http://192.168.100.59/PLMS/TestCheck.asp?LSN=201503003009&EmpId=we9999&CPID=OS&CPKey=95Z0000000AF

And i will get the file and the content will show "updated ok".

[victor wang]

@JKSH
I had add qDebug() function in replyFinished() slot.
Here is my code.

According to what you said it will print something out if i am in the same subnet.
And i'm sure that i am in the same subnet but why it still print NULL out like this?

According to the picture i gave you, i assume that it will return "Updated ok!" back to me.

@JKSH already said several times that you have to do it in the slot connected to the finished() signal. So, yes do it in when you get finished() signal.
To your code: you call readAll twice - that is probably the reason why qDebug() << out; prints nothing. You should call readAll only once and then print the data.

[victor wang]

@jsulm
That mean i have to add QFile function into replyFinished() SLOT right?

ReadAll function actually it call twice by itself and i don't know why it will happened.
I'm sure that i just call one time for the ReadAll function.
This is my code here.

But when I add it into replyFinished() slot, it cannot connect to server.
The connect_url will return 0 for the second time to me like this.
What can i do?

[jsulm]

@victor-wang YES
"ReadAll function actually it call twice by itself" - how can a function call itself?
You do it twice, please check your own code again. First time: line 1999, second time line 2013.

[victor wang]

@jsulm
Thank you for telling me!
But now i still get nothing.
I had check several time that i can wget the Url on the console.
And i'm sure it is the right subnet and Url.
And i checked the check.txt file can be write nor read.
Why it still print NULL out?

[jsulm]

@victor-wang show your code

[victor wang]

@jsulm
Here is the code for replyFinished() slot.

This is where i called the Finished() signal and replyFinished() slot via connect

[jsulm]

@victor-wang You cannot write in /home! (line 2019)
It should be /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/check.txt

[jsulm]

@victor-wang What do you get if you use wget with that URL? Any data?

[victor wang]

@jsulm
I will get a file like this.

i will get the file called "TestCheck.asp?LSN=201503003009&EmpId=we9999&CPID=OS&CPKey=95Z0000000AF"

And i can use vi to see the content inside like this.

I changed the path to /home/root/check.txt still got nothing in it.

[jsulm]

@victor-wang You should print out reply->error()
If everything was fine then it should print out 0 (QNetworkReply::NoError)

[victor wang]

@jsulm
It shows no error.
That means everything was fine.
But why still have nothing?
Is there any possible because i receive a file?

[jsulm]

@victor-wang Is that out variable a QByteArray?
Also, what exactly does qDebug()<<out print out?

[victor wang]

@jsulm
I declared it at the mainwindow.h here.

This is what it got here.

[jsulm]

@victor-wang can you do qDebug()<<out.size();?

[victor wang]

@jsulm

Yes, I can do that.
this is my code here

And it shows 0.
Is that mean there is nothing in it?
