[Solved]Qt 4.8 https post question

cidhuang

Hi,

I referenced a "discussion":http://www.qtforum.org/article/34097/ssl-server.html to make ssl key and cert. Then I built a node.js test server for testing my Qt 4.8 AP's https post function. But it always failed with ssl error message:

"The host name did not match any of the valid hosts for this certificate"

I tried Qt http post with node.js test server, it works.

Please help me establish correct Qt 4.8 https post connection procedure.

Thanks,

Cid

The Qt function code:
@
QVariantMap data;
data.insert("account", "test");
data.insert("password", "testtest");

QByteArray jsonString = QxtJSON::stringify(data).toUtf8();

// For your "Content-Length" header
QByteArray postDataSize = QByteArray::number(jsonString.size());

QUrl serviceURL = QUrl("https://192.168.1.108:8080/test");

// Time for building your request
QNetworkRequest request(serviceURL);

// Add the headers specifying their names and their values with the following method : void QNetworkRequest::setRawHeader(const QByteArray & headerName, const QByteArray & headerValue);
request.setRawHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
request.setRawHeader("Content-Length", postDataSize);
request.setRawHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + QByteArray(QString("%1:%2").arg("john").arg("doe").toAscii()).toBase64());

QList<QSslCertificate> cert = QSslCertificate::fromPath (QLatin1String (":/basic/ca.crt"));
QSslError error (QSslError::SelfSignedCertificate, cert.at (0));
QList<QSslError> expectedSslErrors;
expectedSslErrors.append (error);

QFile keyFile&#40;":/basic/client.key"&#41;;
QSslKey key(&keyFile, QSsl::Rsa, QSsl::Pem, QSsl::PrivateKey, "passPhrase"&#41;;
QFile certFile(":/basic/client_sign.crt"&#41;;
QSslCertificate cert2(&certFile&#41;;
QSslConfiguration sslConfig;
sslConfig.setPrivateKey(key&#41;;
sslConfig.setLocalCertificate(cert2);
QList<QSslCertificate> ca;
ca.append(cert);
ca.append(cert2);
sslConfig.setCaCertificates(ca);
request.setSslConfiguration(sslConfig);

reply = nam->post(request, jsonString);
reply->ignoreSslErrors (expectedSslErrors);

The node.js test server code:
@
var express = require('express');
var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');

// This line is from the Node.js HTTPS documentation.
var options = {
key: fs.readFileSync('ssl/ca.key'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('ssl/ca.crt'),
passphrase: "gamdias",
ca: fs.readFileSync('ssl/ca.crt')
};

// Create a service (the app object is just a callback).
var app = express();

app.use(express.bodyParser());

// Authenticator
app.use(express.basicAuth('john', 'doe'));

app.post('/test', function(req, res) {
var body = '{
"result":"ok"
}';

res.send(body);

});

https.createServer(options, app).listen(8080);

The code is ok.
The problem is key generation procedures.
