Why the post method doesn't send the json to API Rest in QT5?
-
Hi, I'm trying to send a json via a post request in Qt5. This is my situation. I have a Parser class that takes a QByteArray, always with different values, from another class through the SIGNAL and SLOT mechanism. But I want to take only certain values, which when taken, send them to another method of the same Parser class where sending them to API Rest. Unfortunately the json is not sent to my app.
This is my parser.h... class Parser : public QObject { Q_OBJECT public: Parser(); public slots: void receivePackage(QByteArray &sendBuffer); void replyFinished(QNetworkReply *reply); void slotError(QNetworkReply::NetworkError code); public: QByteArray bufferToParse; QByteArray bufferToPacket; QQueue<QByteArray> queue; void sendPacketToAPI(QByteArray &bufferToPacket); private: QNetworkAccessManager *m_manager; quint8 m_speed; quint8 m_acceleration; }; ...
This is my parser.cpp
Parser::Parser() : m_manager { new QNetworkAccessManager } { connect(m_manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(replyFinished(QNetworkReply*))); } void Parser::receivePackage(QByteArray &sendBuffer){ queue.enqueue(sendBuffer); while (!queue.isEmpty()) { bufferToParse = queue.dequeue(); ... for (int i = 6; i < 262; i++) { bufferToPacket.append(bufferToParse.at(i)); } sendPacketToAPI(bufferToPacket); ... } void replyFinished(QNetworkReply *reply) { reply->deleteLater(); qDebug() << "reply delete!"; qDebug() << "https post_request done!"; } void Parser::sendPacketToAPI(QByteArray &bufferToPacket) { m_a = bufferToPacket.at(0); m_b = bufferToPacket.at(1); QNetworkRequest request(QUrl ("https://...")); request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/json"); QString json = QString("{\"speed\":\"%1\",\"acceleration\":\"%2\"}").arg(m_a).arg(m_b); m_manager->post(request, json.toUtf8()); }

@p3c0 I left it running for a while, but the replyFinished method seems as if it were not called
@trip
since it looks like you are posting to a https url, do you have OpenSSL properly configured? -
@raven-worx
No, I have not configured. Do you think is the problem? -
@raven-worx
No, I have not configured. Do you think is the problem?@trip
yes ;)
But you should get some SSL errors printed in the debugger console (during initialization)On what system are you developing on?

@raven-worx
Okay. What is the right flow to follow to configure OpenSSL correctly?
In fact I like errorsqt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: can not resolve SSLv2_client_method qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: can not resolve SSLv2_server_method
I'm using Ubuntu 16 and Qt Creator 4

yea, about those errors i was talking.
Since you are on Ubuntu simply install the OpenSSL binaries (via the system package manager) and it should work. -
@raven-worx
I had already installed the package. I run the program but I always make the same error. -
@raven-worx
Should I use the connectToHostEncrypted method of the QNetworkAccessManager class? -
@raven-worx
Should I use the connectToHostEncrypted method of the QNetworkAccessManager class?@trip For using https enough call message get/put/post with https urls, for example
QNetworkRequest req; req.setUrl(QUrl("https://cloud-api.yandex.net/v1/disk/"));
and this is working in my program.

@raven-worx
Should I use the connectToHostEncrypted method of the QNetworkAccessManager class?it has to be in a path where your application can find it.
no not needed. Should all happen internally. Just make sure your application can find the OpenSSL binaries.

@raven-worx for example, we can put together with the executable file.

I tried to do another project where there is just main.cpp and where do#include <QCoreApplication> #include <QNetworkAccessManager> #include <QNetworkReply> #include <QNetworkRequest> #include <QDebug> #include <QObject> #include <QByteArray> #include <QUrl> void replyFinished(QNetworkReply *reply) { reply->deleteLater(); qDebug() << "reply delete!"; qDebug() << "https post_request done!"; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QCoreApplication a(argc, argv); QNetworkAccessManager *manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(); QNetworkRequest request(QUrl ("https://cryptic-reaches-94837.herokuapp.com/data/")); request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/json"); QObject::connect(manager, &QNetworkAccessManager::finished, replyFinished); quint8 speed = 0x12; quint8 acceleration = 0x5b; QString json = QString("{\"speed\":\"%1\",\"acceleration\":\"%2\"}").arg(speed).arg(acceleration); manager->post(request, json.toUtf8()); return a.exec(); }
and it's work!!!
but how come if add this piece of code to my project, why does not work to me?
