QT4 - Using host/PC name in QUrl

[Hariprasasth]

Hello,

I am sending REST request to server. Using QUrl I am formatting the request.

QUrl requestedUrl;
requestedUrl.setHost("169.29.2.101");
requestedUrl.setPort(8081);
requestedUrl.setPath("/ticket/services/config");
requestedUrl.setScheme("http");
QNetworkRequest req(requestedUrl);
reply = qnam.get(req);

The above code works correctly. I would like to replace IP address with host/PC name. Both client and server are running in same domain network so no proxy issue.

requestedUrl.setHost("169.29.2.101");
TO
requestedUrl.setHost("EAGLE-1");

Should I use QHostinfo to get IP from host name or Is there way to specify it in QUrl?

Thanks,
Hari

Yes, you can specify the hostname in the URL. And you can also use QHostInfo class for host names lookup & resolution, but everything ends up being a question of having a working name resolution service in the underlying OS being it by means of a DNS server or by manually configuring host name files (i.e. /etc/hosts in *nix)
