And what problem do you have? You don't ask questions we really understand but we try to help as best as we can and then you ignore our links...

@Christian-Ehrlicher how do i make "doPost" send json like this

data = {"key": value1}

using QJsonDocument

Christian Ehrlicher

Create a QJsonObject with the values you want, the use a QJsonDocument to convert it to a QByteArray. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcore-serialization-savegame-example.html for an example.

@Christian-Ehrlicher what am i doing wrong? :/

json = QJsonDocument.object()
json["selectedPattern"] = "2"

document = QJsonDocument(json)
doc = document.toJson(document)
print(doc)

Error :

object(self): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QJsonDocument'

As for your error, did you check what it means ?

@SGaist ok sorry for that :) i'll keep that in mind!

@SGaist i tried googling but didn't find anything on the error :S

The QJsonDocument::toJson overload you want to use takes no argument.

Kris Revi

@SGaist ok this is what i got sofar

    def doPost(self):
        try:
            json = {'selectedPatter': '2'}
            document = QJsonDocument(json)

            print(document.toJson())

            request = QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest(QtCore.QUrl("http://192.168.10.2/selectPattern"))
            request.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentTypeHeader, "application/json")

            self.nam2.post(request, document.toJson())
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)

    def handlePostResponse(self, reply):
        er = reply.error()

        if er == QtNetwork.QNetworkReply.NoError:
            print("No Error")
            print(reply.readAll())

        else:
            print("Error occurred: ", er)
            print(reply.errorString())

the print out in doPost function looks weird :S this b' and \n

b'{\n    "selectedPatter": "2"\n}\n'

but the print in handlePostResponse function is

No Error
b''

SGaist

No it does not, it's a string, or rather bytes, containing a simple json document containing one field.

As for the reply you are getting, what are you expecting ? Is the service supposed to return something ?
