QNetworkReply always getting error

[MrDiv]

Hello everybody,

I'm using QNetwork since a bit time in my app to get information from webservices and i never got problem with it till today.
Here is my doRequest function i use :

QString                            Request::doRequest(const QString& request, RequestType type, const QByteArray& data)
{
    _isProcessing = true;
    QObject::connect(&_networkManager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), &_eventLoop, SLOT(quit()));
    QUrl url(request);
    QNetworkRequest req(url);
    switch (type)
    {
    case e_GET :
        _reply = _networkManager.get(req);
        break;
    case e_POST :
        _reply = _networkManager.post(req, data);
        break;
    case e_PUT :
        _reply = _networkManager.put(req, data);
        break;
    case e_DELETE :
        _reply = _networkManager.deleteResource(req);
        break;
    }
    _eventLoop.exec();
    if (_reply->error() == QNetworkReply::NoError)
        {
            QString result = _reply->readAll();
            std::cout << "RESULT = " << result.toStdString() << std::endl;
            delete _reply;
            _isProcessing = false;
            return (result);
        }
    else
    {
        std::cerr << "Error : \"" << _reply->errorString().toStdString() << "\"" << std::endl;
        exit(-1);
    }
    delete _reply;
    _isProcessing = false;
    return ("");
}

It works well except for one particular webservice where i get "Protocol "" is unknown", the webservice URL is good when i copy paste it in my browser it works. I can't understand why this error append.

Hi @MrDiv

What is the URL you're pasting? (assuming its something you're able to share)

Try adding a couple of qDebug's like:

    qDebug() << request;
    QUrl url(request);
    qDebug() << url;
    qDebug() << url.scheme();

That might give some clues.

Thank you for your answer @Paul-Colby,

I cant really share the URL here, but i trust you enough to share it to you in private if you think the problem is coming from there.
I tried your debug, qDebug() << request; is printing the request, the rest is outputting nothing.

@MrDiv said:

It does sound like an issue with QUrl understanding the URL then. You could try breaking the URL down by pasting in just a the first few parts at a time to see when if it breaks at a particular point.

I cant really share the URL here, but i trust you enough to share it to you in private if you think the problem is coming from there.

Understood. I'm more than happy to take a look if you do send it privately. I certainly will not repeat / share the URL with anyone.

Cheers.
