network request will always timeout with a long time server return?

[nelson.W]

first of all ,sorry for my bad english..
if server takes a long time to return,more than 300 seconds,QT request will timeout,reply will abort.
for eg.
php server code.server will return after 6*60 seconds .

<?php  
sleep(60*6); 
echo "test"; 
 die();
?>

qt codes

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QtNetwork/QNetworkAccessManager>
#include <QtNetwork/QNetworkReply>
#include <QtNetwork/QNetworkRequest>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QObject>
#include <QEventLoop>
#include <QDateTime>

void replyFinished(){
    QDateTime dateTime;
    qDebug() << "replyFinished "<< dateTime.currentDateTime().toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
}
void managerFinished(){
    QDateTime dateTime;
    qDebug() << "managerFinished "<< dateTime.currentDateTime().toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    QNetworkAccessManager manager;
    manager.setTransferTimeout(60*1000 * 7);// 7 minutes timeout
    QNetworkReply *reply;
    QNetworkRequest request;

    request.setTransferTimeout(60*1000 * 7);// 7 minutes timeout
    request.setUrl(QUrl(u8"https://www.dajuan.com/home/test"));// 6 minutes return "test"
    request.setAttribute(QNetworkRequest::RedirectPolicyAttribute,QNetworkRequest::NoLessSafeRedirectPolicy);


    reply = manager.get(request);

    QObject::connect(reply,&QNetworkReply::finished,&a,replyFinished);

    QDateTime dateTime;
    qDebug() << "reuqest begin " << dateTime.currentDateTime().toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
    QEventLoop eventLoop;
    //更新进度条
    QObject::connect(&manager,&QNetworkAccessManager::finished,&eventLoop,&QEventLoop::quit);
    QObject::connect(&manager,&QNetworkAccessManager::finished,&a,managerFinished);

    //block until finish
    eventLoop.exec();

    qDebug() << "reuqest done "<< dateTime.currentDateTime().toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

    if(reply->error() == QNetworkReply::NoError) {
        QByteArray data = reply->readAll();
        QString s = QString::fromStdString(data.toStdString());
        qDebug() << "reply string " << s;
    }
    else{
        QVariant statusCode = reply->attribute(QNetworkRequest::HttpStatusCodeAttribute);
        QString msg = QString("code:%1 \ninfo:%2").arg(statusCode.toInt()).arg(reply->errorString());
        qDebug() << "reply error string " << msg;
    }

    return a.exec();
}

debug output is like this,we can see that the request is [timeout,after 7 miniutes]

reuqest begin  "2024-06-25 09:32:15"
managerFinished  "2024-06-25 09:39:15"
replyFinished  "2024-06-25 09:39:15"
reuqest done  "2024-06-25 09:39:15"
reply error string  "code:0 \ninfo:Operation canceled"

if server return time is shorter than 300s ,debug output is down here ..I performs well.

reuqest begin  "2024-06-25 09:42:48"
managerFinished  "2024-06-25 09:43:49"
replyFinished  "2024-06-25 09:43:49"
reuqest done  "2024-06-25 09:43:49"
reply string  "test"

I know that ,QNetworkAccessManager and QNetworkRequest default timeout is 300s.(Also,I don't konw the difference of these two timeout...)
my qt version is 5.15.2 ,and 5.15.14(i thought it's a bug,so I upgrades to 5.15.14..but, these 2 version is the same result)

So,this is a bug,or I used this in a wrong way?

I mean ,if server return time is longer than 300 seconds,QT will always Timeout,Operation canceled!
I set 7 miniutes timeout .If server returns at 5 minutes,Qt will go to 7 minutes...

@nelson-W said in network request will always timeout with a long time server return?:

QEventLoop eventLoop;

Why a local event loop?

[nelson.W]

@jsulm
As comment,block until request finished.Synchronous request.

[jsulm]

@nelson-W said in network request will always timeout with a long time server return?:

Synchronous request.

But do you really need synchronous requests?

[nelson.W]

Qt network cannot keep alive.I 'm not sure of this,butI didn't find the attribute to set with.
I change to use lib curl .libcurl perform well.
