   added:
    if ( m_reply->isRunning() ) {
        connect( m_reply, &QNetworkReply::finished,
                 this,    &ClassName::postFinished );
    }
    else {
        postFinished();
    }

void ClassName::postFinished()
{
std::cout << " error " << qPrintable( m_reply->errorString() ) << std::endl;
}

the output in slot postFinished()
Unknown error

@JoeCFD
Why are you expecting anything in errorString()? How do you know any error is occurring?

If I wanted to know about possible errors I would slot onto https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qnetworkreply.html#errorOccurred.

@JonB The json file is supposed to change something in the URL. The data was not changed before. It is working now. The errorString() should return empty string if there is no error.

@JoeCFD said in problem in sending a json file to url:

The errorString() should return empty string if there is no error.

Could you explain that? And what value was https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qnetworkreply.html#error?

[JoeCFD]

@JonB this one is 0. It is right. The code did not work before. I was checking error message from errorString(). This func should return something like no error or empty. Unknown error is not clear.

@JoeCFD
:) You don't like a Qt error string, I am not responsible for what it prints and I don't see the docs stating it should return your wish! Earlier today, I was answering some post where the OP didn't like the "no error" text either, was that you? Maybe I'm going senile..., never mind :) I suggest you always check an error number if it is available rather than a string, if you are developing code. But I'm glad your code is working now.

@JonB First, I appreciate your reply. Unknown error is kind of confusing for me. I did not ask you to change the output of errorString(). And I did not post anywhere else except in this topic today.

This was only an example to explain how-to get in touch when request is done!
I just rewrite your code to made it work.
A more logical process would be:

connect(reply, &QNetworkReply::finished, this, [reply]()
    {
        if (reply->error() == QNetworkReply::NoError)
        {
            QByteArray data = reply->readAll();
            QDebug() << "Success:" << data;
        }
        else
            qDebug() << "Failure: " << qPrintable( reply->errorString() );
    });
