How could I connect to the server by websocket(wss) or https protocol when develop webapp by Qt

[tham]

Qt for webassembly of Qt5.13.1 do not support SSL yet, they treat this issue as P2, that means we may have a long time do not have ssl support at all(another 3 months or a few years?), do you have any suggestions to perform network operations with SSL support?Any recommended libraries and examples?Thanks

ps : It's a bit pointless to have a web app without SSL support.

@tham
When normally/traditionally you do this via https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qnetworkaccessmanager.html#details, which will support SSL. Is that what you were looking for? (But that is of course is not from a web browser, but from a native app.)

No, because Qt for webassembly do not support ssl yet.

Pardon? I know that. Like I said, QNetworkAccessManager does support SSL, but it has nothing to do with WASM.

@jonb Pardon, I mentioned want it to work for wasm from the beginning.

I am currently working on refactoring the QNAM backend for webasembly. As well as QTcpSocket and QtWebSocket rework.

That said, connecting to https should work. The QNAM backend currently uses XMLHttpRequest, which supports https as is without outside ssl support, as long as the serving certificate is good.
