Listen to Http server by QTcpSocket

[tham]

Could I listen to http sever by QTcpSocket?I have use QNetworkAccessManager to download resource from http server, but never tried to listen to the server, any examples/suggestions about this?

Could I just call

socket_->connectToHost(ip_address, port);

To listen the messages send from the server?If this work, do it have any drawback? Any pitfalls I should notice? Thanks
