Multithreaded proxy checker GUI program with Qt (need help with QNetworkAccessManager & threads)
-
Hello!
I am trying to make a simple multithreaded GUI program that goes throught a list of proxies and
for each proxy it check A) SSL support and B) anonymous support and then prints the data to
QTreeWidget with each row containing proxy IP:port, if proxy supports SSL and if it is anonymous proxy.
Like this:192.111.213.223:8080 Yes Yes
143.123.123.123:3128 Yes No
etc....What I want the program to do is:
-
create two or more threads and for each thread create QNetworkAccessManager object.
-
each thread goes throught the list of proxies (just a simple QList now),
checking if the proxy has SSL support (by setting QNAM proxy and trying to connect to
https://encrypted.google.com) and anonymous support (by setting QNAM proxy and then trying
to connect to some IP showing web site and parse the result). -
threads should be synchronized so that they don't step over each others toes and never
try to check the same proxy from the list (that is each proxy in that list is checked only once by one
of the threads). -
each time one of threads has successfully determined both SSL and anonymous support it will then send data (with signal) to main GUI thread for printing to some graphical widget (like QTreeWidget in this example) and then continue to next proxy in the list so long untill there is no more proxies left for checking in the list.
I believe that QStringList as an argument for signal would be good for this ?
Like: void dataReady(const QStringList& data)
and then in thread code something like this ?:QStringList data;
data << proxyIP << (proxySSLsupport ? "Yes" : "No") << (proxyAnonymousSupport ? "Yes" : "No");
emit dataReady(data);- after all proxies have been checked a signal is sent to notify main GUI thread.
Can someone please show how to do this right? How to synchronize QNetworkAccessManager so that each thread fires up signal and sends ready data (proxy IP, SSL support and Anonymous support)
I am not thread expert and only know basics of signal & slots of Qt.
This is really driving me crazyHere's my nonworking, incomplete code.
