Two requests in the same QNetworkAccessManager

Volebab

I have a class with a QNetworkAccessManager on it and I have two webservices that I have to consult, the first one has a few information and the other has other information, they are all in the same context and that is why i wrapped in a class, the thing is, how to make two requets in the same QNetworkAccessManager and manipulate each webservice separated? For example, the webservice1 returns the user name, so I need to check if it's from the webservice1 get and set the user name in a variable within the class, and if it's from the webservice2 get and set the address of the user in a variable within the class.

As is often the case, there's many ways you could do it, but here's just one example (pseudo code only):

class MyClass : QObject {
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MyClass(...) : QObject(...)
    {
        QNetworkRequest webservice1Request;
        // @todo setup webservice1Request.
        QNetworkReply * const reply1 = networkAccessManager->get(webservice1Request);
        connect(reply1, QNetworkReply::finished, this, MyClass::getUserName);

        QNetworkRequest webservice2Request;
        // @todo setup webservice2Request.
        QNetworkReply * const reply2 = networkAccessManager->get(webservice2Request);
        connect(reply2, QNetworkReply::finished, this, MyClass::getUserAddress);
    }

private slots:
    MyClass::getUserName()
    {
        QNetworkReply * const reply = qobject_cast<QNetworkReply *>(sender());
        Q_CHECK_PTR(reply);
        userName = reply->readAll();
        reply->deleteLater();
    }

    MyClass::getUserAddress()
    {
        QNetworkReply * const reply = qobject_cast<QNetworkReply *>(sender());
        Q_CHECK_PTR(reply);
        userAddress = reply->readAll();
        reply->deleteLater();
    }

private:
    QNetworkAccessManger networkAccessManager;
    QString userName, userAddress;
}

The slots could be simplified by making the QNetworkReply instances class member variables if you preferred.

Cheers.

@Paul-Colby I decided that I will split in two different classes, as the user can choose with one he wants to use, but I liked your way as well, thank you.

Or by remapping the finished() signal to pass the QNetworkReply as parameter (thus not requiring usage of sender()).
