XmlListModel on url with self signed cert, and QtWebKit OS X issue

JesseOnRails

Hi,

I was just checking out Qt Quick and I find it really interesting. Nevertheless, I bumped into few problems and would appreciate some clarification:

I'm trying to get XML via XmlListModel from server that has self signed certification for https protocol, and it seems like that's a dead end. Is there a way to debug XmlListModel responses? If self signed https is the problem here, I wonder if I can force it to accept all certificates?
I was trying to "import QtWebKit 1.0" but the console tells me

module "QtWebKit" is not installed

Is Qt 4.7 libraries missing QtWebKit module on OS X? If so, how can I install them?

Thanks,

-Jesse

There is an errorString() function that should be able to give at least some information about the error (assuming it is a network error). You can use it like this:

@onStatusChaged: if (status == XmlListModel.Error) console.log(errorString())@

They should not be missing. Have you done a source build, or installed either the Qt binaries or the Qt SDK binaries? If it is the SDK, you might be hitting "this problem":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-13888.

Thanks, the problem seems to be SSL handshake as I assumed: error is: "SSL handshake failed" is there a way to force acceptance of self signed (aka untrusted) certificates?

I Installed Qt binaries which have dev tools etc included.. This seems a bit odd that in demos-program demos that use QtWebKit work just fine.. Any clues what to do?

I'm not very familiar with the network side of things. I think you would be able to achieve this with a custom QNetworkAccessManager (see docs for "QDeclarativeNetworkAccessManagerFactory":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qdeclarativenetworkaccessmanagerfactory.html), though others might know of a better solution.

Do you have a /Developer/Applications/Qt/imports/ directory? What are it's contents?

ls /Developer/Applications/Qt/imports/

"2. I was trying to “import QtWebKit 1.0” but the console tells me "

I'm not sure(never tried) but I think that qt 4.7 has webkit 2 . Am I wrong?

EDIT: never mind. is QtWebKit 1.0. works on my side. I checked this "example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/declarative-modelviews-webview-alerts-qml.html and works great. I have the qt sdk ( qt4.7 and qt creator 2.01)

JesseOnRails

Mine is the same, QT 4.7.0 (64 bit) and Qt Creator 2.0.1.

But the example gives out the same error.. There must be something missing from this installation or something.. maybe I should reinstall and see if it helps. But seems odd that installer would fail to do proper installation at random.

oh. I have qt(32bit). maybe there is a bug with 64 bit version.

JesseOnRails

Yup.. reinstall didn't resolve it.

Okay, it looks like this has "old" contents (there should be a QtWebKit rather than an org) -- I've added a note to "QTBUG-13888":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-13888.
