[solved] Trouble getting JSON response with QNetworkRequest

[reactive]

I successfully used QNetworkRequest to connect to a SOAP service and a website that returns its result in the html text.
But when I try to connect to a service that returns JSON text I get an error (from them I'm assuming): "status" : error, "message" : "invalid format of ___ field". The same url http://foo/?user=abc&pass=123&field=foo works fine in Firefox.
The only fields I'm setting in the header are: Accept = application/json text/* and Connection = Keep-Alive

The code is just

@
QNetworkRequest req;
req.setUrl(QUrl("http://foo/..."));
req.setRawHeader("Accept", "...")
QNetworkReply* reply = manager->post(request, "")
@

Ummm.... You get JSON error as I understood, can you give more information? Raw response for example.

By "raw response" do you just mean the text I am getting back?
It is: { “status” : error, “message” : “invalid format of ___ field” } (I've taken out the field name).

When I enter the URL into Firefox I get a "Save as" dialog to save the json data and
it works fine.

Ok, how do you set "Accept" header in firefox?
Do you sure firefox not send any more data to server (cookie as example)?

Use wireshark to do a packet capture and compare your app with firefox to see what is different in the request.

I got it to work! I was reusing the code I wrote for the SOAP service so I had:
@ manager->post(request, "") @

I changed it to @ manager->get(request) @ and that did the trick.
(Also, apparently the url parameters are case sensitive, though that wasn't the original issue.)

EDIT: And of course, thanks to everyone!
