Get request of QNetworkAcccessManager always fail on https server

[tham]

1. Due to the requests of customers, I cannot tell you the link, sorry about the inconvenient.
2. I tried to do a get request from a https server, but it keep on giving me the response "Error transferring https://some_address - server replied: Bad Gateway".
3. The same codes can download the page of https://github.com without any issues, and I have tried on different ssl protocol. connect to ssl error signal but received nothing, pretty sure it is not ssl issue
4. The server is build by nodejs, forward the call by nginx, using loopback api.

I have asked the developers what is wrong, but they don't know, I have asked them do I need some sort of authorization, they say don't need + I cannot access their codes, do anyone have the ideas?Thanks

Simplest codes

QNetworkRequest request(url);
request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/json");
auto *reply = manager_->get(request); //manager is QNetworkAccessManager
//some connections

I just to be 100% clear, you say that https address positively does work without "Bad Gateway" if, say, you enter it into your browser?

@JonB It works with postman.

edit : Another weird things I did not mentioned is, some api works with QNetworkAccessManager, while postman do not work, but some api only work with postman, bizarre

@tham you need to use tools that will help you understand what's going on, if not you'll continue going blindly...

1. Netwrok traffic capture -> Wireshark will show you what's is actually sent by your Qt app and what is actually the server replying
2. Logging -> Ask the server's admin/developers you try connecting to for logging enties showing what the server is receiving/why is deciding to return "Bad Gateway" response
3. From documentation:

The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 502 Bad Gateway server error response code indicates that the server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server
could you check that you don't have a proxy in the middle, or that this server you're connecting to is indeed trying to connect to some other destination

4. Do you have the signal sslErrors() connected to a slot to analyze the SSL errors?

1. Thanks for suggesting Wireshark
2. The developers are finding the issues, still don't know what is going on yet
3. The doc for me is simple, upload json file with ContentTypeHeader "application/json", the format and data of the json I uploaded is correct(confirm)
4. Yes, I connect to the slot, but it do not show any error.
