How to reuse QNetworkReply to use HTTP Persistent Connection?
-
Hi all,
I have an application that accesses REST API from a server. The server limits new connection count to 2 each second. But it allows more requests in a single connection (HTTP persistent connection).
I use QNetworkReply and QNetworkAccessManager. Qt 5.4.
From what I read, by default Qt network uses persistent connection. However, the connection will be closed when a reply is deleted.
My question is, how to reuse QNetworkReply wihout deleting it and create new one for each request? Since I access REST API, there are a lot of different kinds of request with different parameters and request type (get, post, delete, etc). Seems the only way to create and config QNetworkReply is calling QNetworkAccessManager get/post/deleteResource methods. How can I feed different parameters and request type to an existing QNetworkReply?
Thanks

Maybe the server sends a CLOSE response anyways. Some server implementations do not honor the keep-alive request correctly.
you can try if libcurl is working at all?
Also maybe you can sniff the data transfer (especially the request and response headers)? -

Currently when I need a QNetworkReply, I have to call QNetworkAccessManager get/post/deleteResource methods to create a new reply, seems no way to reuse a reply. -
because this simply makes no sense to reuse a REPLY, since a REPLY is the RESPONSE to a single REQUEST.
As i said...check the request- and repsonse-headers and see if the webserver even supports a persistent connection properly.
