Sending HTTP Header Info with Qt QNetworkAccessManager

Question

I have the following code, and I would like to add some HTTP header info along with the call. Anyway that I can do that?

void NeoAPI::call(QString apiCall)         


        

Answer 1

Yes, see the documentation of QNetworkRequest.

You'll want to do something like:

QNetworkRequest request(url);
request.setHeader( QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "some/type" );
request.setRawHeader("Last-Modified", "Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT");
manager->get( header );

Also, if I wasn't using these inside a class, what would the this in the connect(manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(netReplyFinished(QNetworkReply*))); be?

It wouldn't be anything. To connect a signal to a slot, that slot must be a member function of some object. The Qt primer on signals and slots explains this.
