Problem with QUrlQuery::toString(QUrl::FullyEncoded) (.toUtf8()) ,with character '+'

stephane78

Hi,
I have the following code :

QUrlQuery postData;

....
postData.addQueryItem("objet",objet);

postData.addQueryItem("message",message);

QByteArray b=postdata.toString(QUrl::FullyEncoded) .toUtf8(); 
m_reponse = m_pNetManager->post(requete,  postData.toString(QUrl::FullyEncoded).toUtf8());

When objet or message contains the character '+' ,the variable b contains this character not encoded (not as %) and the webservices php (api rest) receive a space character instead of '+'.I think that postData.toString(QUrl::FullyEncoded) has a bug because the character '+' must be encoded like '%n'....

I have fixed it with

objet.replace(QChar('+'),QString("%2B"));
message.replace(QChar('+'),QString("%2B"));

postData.addQueryItem("objet",objet);

postData.addQueryItem("message",message);

but it 'is a bug of the method QUrlQuery::toString(QUrl::FullyEncoded),that should encode the character '+' as "%2B"...
my problem is solved.

OK thanks Wieland,
I had this problem with version Qt 5.3.2 compiled from sources for windows, with 5.4.1 for linux and with 5.4.2 for MacOSX.
