Sending HTTP POST network request?

[Ashley]

I'm trying to send a HTTP POST login request in the following format:

POST /login HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 450
Host: 123.456.78.91:80
KeepAlive-Interval: 5

[CONTENT (contains security key)]

Currently, my code is structured like:

qUrl = new QUrl();
qUrl->setHost(ipAddress);
qUrl->setPort(port);
qUrl->setPath("/login");

request = QNetworkRequest(qUrl)
request.setRawHeader("Content-Length", QString::number(securityKey.size()).toLocal8Bit);
... more headers ...

QString content = "contents..."

QNetworkAccessManager* networkManager = new QNetworkAccessManager();
networkManager->connectToHost(ipAddress, port);
networkManager->post(request, content.toLocal8Bit());

Currently I'm not receiving any response from the server so something's wrong. I'm wondering if anyone is able to identify what it may be? I haven't seen any examples online of people connecting to ip addresses/ports with Qt networking, only the URL addresses, so I'm not sure if what I'm doing is correct.

Any help would be much appreciated. :)

I have just found I forgot to set the scheme, i.e. qUrl->setScheme("http");
Just testing if everything else is okay, assume the problem is solved for now, will edit replies/post if any further help needed.
