QtNetwork and multipart encryption

[2beers]

Hi everyone. Can I have multipart POST requests using QNetworkAccessManager ?? I read somewhere that this might be available only in qt 4.8? is that true?

Thanks

Hi 2beers, what do you mean by "might be available only in the Qt 4.8 ?", do you mean Qt 4.8 will have some API to do that ?

I don't think so. Multipart post requests can be done everywhere if you know it. Just send data with the multipart format using Boundary, ctrl, etc. :)

Anyway I found what I was looking for: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6222

Yes. 4.8 will introduce the QHttpMultiPart and the QHttpPart classes, which you can use to build mime/multipart HTTP requests. Overloads for QNetworkAccessManager::post and ::put (which take a QHttpMultiPart) will be introduced as well. In the meanwhile, you can do multipart requests, but you have handle everything by hand (or by using a 3rd party library).
