QNetworkRequest for https

Infinity

I want to read json data from a remote server with an https get request. The server requires an Authorizsation header. I tried the following:

QNetworkAccessManager *manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
    connect(manager, &QNetworkAccessManager::finished, this, &AccountsTableModel::replyFinished);
QNetworkRequest request =  QNetworkRequest(QUrl("https://x.x.x.x:y/xyz"));
request.setSslConfiguration(QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguration());
request.setRawHeader(QByteArray("Authorization"), QByteArray("bearer xyz"));
request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/json");

QNetworkReply *reply = manager->get(request);

connect(reply, QOverload<QNetworkReply::NetworkError>::of(&QNetworkReply::error), this, &AccountsTableModel::replyError);
connect(reply, &QNetworkReply::sslErrors, this, &AccountsTableModel::replySslError);

void AccountsTableModel::replyError(QNetworkReply::NetworkError code)
{
    qDebug() << "Error";
    qDebug() << (int) code;
}

void AccountsTableModel::replySslError(const QList<QSslError> &sslErrors)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < sslErrors.size(); i++) {
        qDebug() << "Error " << i << sslErrors.at(i).errorString();
    }
}

When I run the code I get the following error messages:

6
"SSL handshake failed"
"OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017"
""

I'm using: Qt 5.12.3 on a linux system with openssl 1.0.2

What is the correct way to use QNetwokrRequest with ssl?

Did I set the Authorization header correctly?

Where and how can I define the certificate?

Hi,

How did you install Qt ?
Since you're on a linux distribution, and before hunting down what's going on with Qt 5.12.3, you can check that your code is working correctly using your distribution provided Qt.

On a side note you can use:

qDebug() << QSslSocket::sslLibraryBuildVersionString();
qDebug() << QSslSocket::sslLibraryVersionString();

To see the version used to build Qt and the one currently loaded.
