Detailed Description¶

The PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp class provides an implementation of the HTTP protocol.

This class provides a direct interface to HTTP that allows you to download and upload data with the HTTP protocol. However, for new applications, it is recommended to use PySide.QtNetwork.QNetworkAccessManager and PySide.QtNetwork.QNetworkReply , as those classes possess a simpler, yet more powerful API and a more modern protocol implementation.

The class works asynchronously, so there are no blocking functions. If an operation cannot be executed immediately, the function will still return straight away and the operation will be scheduled for later execution. The results of scheduled operations are reported via signals. This approach depends on the event loop being in operation.

The operations that can be scheduled (they are called “requests” in the rest of the documentation) are the following: PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.get() , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.post() , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.head() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.request() .

All of these requests return a unique identifier that allows you to keep track of the request that is currently executed. When the execution of a request starts, the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() signal with the identifier is emitted and when the request is finished, the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted with the identifier and a bool that indicates if the request finished with an error.

To make an HTTP request you must set up suitable HTTP headers. The following example demonstrates how to request the main HTML page from the Qt website (i.e., the URL http://qt.nokia.com/index.html ):
header = QHttpRequestHeader("GET", QUrl.toPercentEncoding("/index.html"))
header.setValue("Host", "qtsoftware.com")
http.setHost("qtsoftware.com")
http.request(header)
For the common HTTP requests GET , POST and HEAD , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp provides the convenience functions PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.get() , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.post() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.head() . They already use a reasonable header and if you don’t have to set special header fields, they are easier to use. The above example can also be written as:
http.setHost("qtsoftware.com")                  # id == 1
http.get(QUrl.toPercentEncoding("/index.html")) # id == 2
For this example the following sequence of signals is emitted (with small variations, depending on network traffic, etc.):
requestStarted(1)
requestFinished(1, False)

requestStarted(2)
stateChanged(Connecting)
stateChanged(Sending)
dataSendProgress(77, 77)
stateChanged(Reading)
responseHeaderReceived(responseheader)
dataReadProgress(5388, 0)
readyRead(responseheader)
dataReadProgress(18300, 0)
readyRead(responseheader)
stateChanged(Connected)
requestFinished(2, False)

done(False)

stateChanged(Closing)
stateChanged(Unconnected)
The PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.dataSendProgress() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.dataReadProgress() signals in the above example are useful if you want to show a progress bar to inform the user about the progress of the download. The second argument is the total size of data. In certain cases it is not possible to know the total amount in advance, in which case the second argument is 0. (If you connect to a PySide.QtGui.QProgressBar a total of 0 results in a busy indicator.)

When the response header is read, it is reported with the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.responseHeaderReceived() signal.

The PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.readyRead() signal tells you that there is data ready to be read. The amount of data can then be queried with the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.bytesAvailable() function and it can be read with the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.read() or PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.readAll() functions.

If an error occurs during the execution of one of the commands in a sequence of commands, all the pending commands (i.e. scheduled, but not yet executed commands) are cleared and no signals are emitted for them.

For example, if you have the following sequence of requests
http.setHost("www.foo.bar")       # id == 1
http.get("/index.html")           # id == 2
http.post("register.html", data)  # id == 3
and the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.get() request fails because the host lookup fails, then the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.post() request is never executed and the signals would look like this:
requestStarted(1)
requestFinished(1, False)

requestStarted(2)
stateChanged(HostLookup)
requestFinished(2, True)

done(True)

stateChanged(Unconnected)
You can then get details about the error with the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.error() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.errorString() functions. Note that only unexpected behavior, like network failure is considered as an error. If the server response contains an error status, like a 404 response, this is reported as a normal response case. So you should always check the status code of the response header.

The functions PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.currentId() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.currentRequest() provide more information about the currently executing request.

The functions PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.hasPendingRequests() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.clearPendingRequests() allow you to query and clear the list of pending requests.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost()

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.Error¶

This enum identifies the error that occurred.

Constant	Description
QHttp.NoError	No error occurred.
QHttp.HostNotFound	The host name lookup failed.
QHttp.ConnectionRefused	The server refused the connection.
QHttp.UnexpectedClose	The server closed the connection unexpectedly.
QHttp.InvalidResponseHeader	The server sent an invalid response header.
QHttp.WrongContentLength	The client could not read the content correctly because an error with respect to the content length occurred.

QHttp.ProxyAuthenticationRequiredError	`PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp` is using a proxy, and the proxy server requires authentication to establish a connection.
QHttp.AuthenticationRequiredError	The web server requires authentication to complete the request.
QHttp.UnknownError	An error other than those specified above occurred.

See also

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.error()

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.ConnectionMode¶

This enum is used to specify the mode of connection to use:

Constant	Description
QHttp.ConnectionModeHttp	The connection is a regular HTTP connection to the server
QHttp.ConnectionModeHttps	The HTTPS protocol is used and the connection is encrypted using SSL.

When using the HTTPS mode, care should be taken to connect to the sslErrors signal, and handle possible SSL errors.

See also

PySide.QtNetwork.QSslSocket

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.State¶

This enum is used to specify the state the client is in:

Constant	Description
QHttp.Unconnected	There is no connection to the host.
QHttp.HostLookup	A host name lookup is in progress.
QHttp.Connecting	An attempt to connect to the host is in progress.
QHttp.Sending	The client is sending its request to the server.
QHttp.Reading	The client’s request has been sent and the client is reading the server’s response.
QHttp.Connected	The connection to the host is open, but the client is neither sending a request, nor waiting for a response.
QHttp.Closing	The connection is closing down, but is not yet closed. (The state will be `Unconnected` when the connection is closed.)

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.abort()¶

Aborts the current request and deletes all scheduled requests.

For the current request, the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal with the error argument true is emitted. For all other requests that are affected by the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.abort() , no signals are emitted.

Since this slot also deletes the scheduled requests, there are no requests left and the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.done() signal is emitted (with the error argument true ).

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.authenticationRequired(hostname, port, arg__3)¶

Parameters:	hostname – unicode port – `PySide.QtCore.quint16` arg__3 – `PySide.QtNetwork.QAuthenticator`

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.bytesAvailable()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.qint64`

Returns the number of bytes that can be read from the response content at the moment.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.clearPendingRequests()¶: Deletes all pending requests from the list of scheduled requests. This does not affect the request that is being executed. If you want to stop this as well, use PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.abort() .

See also

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.hasPendingRequests() PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.abort()

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.close()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Closes the connection; this is useful if you have a keep-alive connection and want to close it.

For the requests issued with PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.get() , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.post() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.head() , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp sets the connection to be keep-alive. You can also do this using the header you pass to the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.request() function. PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp only closes the connection to the HTTP server if the response header requires it to do so.

The function does not block; instead, it returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() .

When the request is started the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted.

If you want to close the connection immediately, you have to use PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.abort() instead.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.currentDestinationDevice()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.QIODevice`

Returns the PySide.QtCore.QIODevice pointer that is used as to store the data of the HTTP request being executed. If there is no current request or if the request does not store the data to an IO device, this function returns 0.

This function can be used to delete the PySide.QtCore.QIODevice in the slot connected to the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.currentId()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Returns the identifier of the HTTP request being executed or 0 if there is no request being executed (i.e. they’ve all finished).

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.currentRequest()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtNetwork.QHttpRequestHeader`

Returns the request header of the HTTP request being executed. If the request is one issued by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() or PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.close() , it returns an invalid request header, i.e. QHttpRequestHeader.isValid() returns false.

See also

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.currentId()

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.currentSourceDevice()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.QIODevice`

Returns the PySide.QtCore.QIODevice pointer that is used as the data source of the HTTP request being executed. If there is no current request or if the request does not use an IO device as the data source, this function returns 0.

This function can be used to delete the PySide.QtCore.QIODevice in the slot connected to the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.dataReadProgress(arg__1, arg__2)¶

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtCore.int` arg__2 – `PySide.QtCore.int`

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.dataSendProgress(arg__1, arg__2)¶

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtCore.int` arg__2 – `PySide.QtCore.int`

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.done(arg__1)¶

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtCore.bool`

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.error()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.Error`

Returns the last error that occurred. This is useful to find out what happened when receiving a PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() or a PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.done() signal with the error argument true .

If you start a new request, the error status is reset to NoError .

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.errorString()¶

Return type:	unicode

Returns a human-readable description of the last error that occurred. This is useful to present a error message to the user when receiving a PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() or a PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.done() signal with the error argument true .

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.get(path[, to=None])¶

Parameters:	path – unicode to – `PySide.QtCore.QIODevice`
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Sends a get request for path to the server set by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() or as specified in the constructor.

path must be a absolute path like /index.html or an absolute URI like http://example.com/index.html and must be encoded with either QUrl.toPercentEncoding() or QUrl.encodedPath() .

If the IO device to is 0 the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.readyRead() signal is emitted every time new content data is available to read.

If the IO device to is not 0, the content data of the response is written directly to the device. Make sure that the to pointer is valid for the duration of the operation (it is safe to delete it when the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted).

Request Processing¶

The function does not block; instead, it returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() .

When the request is started the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.hasPendingRequests()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.bool`

Returns true if there are any requests scheduled that have not yet been executed; otherwise returns false.

The request that is being executed is not considered as a scheduled request.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.head(path)¶

Parameters:	path – unicode
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Sends a header request for path to the server set by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() or as specified in the constructor.

path must be an absolute path like /index.html or an absolute URI like http://example.com/index.html .

The function does not block; instead, it returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() .

When the request is started the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.ignoreSslErrors()¶

Tells the PySide.QtNetwork.QSslSocket used for the Http connection to ignore the errors reported in the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.sslErrors() signal.

Note that this function must be called from within a slot connected to the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.sslErrors() signal to have any effect.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.lastResponse()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtNetwork.QHttpResponseHeader`

Returns the received response header of the most recently finished HTTP request. If no response has yet been received QHttpResponseHeader.isValid() will return false.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.post(path, data[, to=None])¶

Parameters:	path – unicode data – `PySide.QtCore.QByteArray` to – `PySide.QtCore.QIODevice`
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.post(path, data[, to=None])

Parameters:	path – unicode data – `PySide.QtCore.QIODevice` to – `PySide.QtCore.QIODevice`
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Sends a post request for path to the server set by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() or as specified in the constructor.

path must be an absolute path like /index.html or an absolute URI like http://example.com/index.html and must be encoded with either QUrl.toPercentEncoding() or QUrl.encodedPath() .

The incoming data comes via the data IO device.

If the IO device to is 0 the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.readyRead() signal is emitted every time new content data is available to read.

If the IO device to is not 0, the content data of the response is written directly to the device. Make sure that the to pointer is valid for the duration of the operation (it is safe to delete it when the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted).

The function does not block; instead, it returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() .

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Sets the HTTP server that is used for requests to hostName on port port using the connection mode mode .

If port is 0, it will use the default port for the mode used (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS).

The function does not block; instead, it returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() .

When the request is started the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setProxy(host, port[, username=""[, password=""]])¶

Parameters:	host – unicode port – `PySide.QtCore.int` username – unicode password – unicode
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Enables HTTP proxy support, using the proxy server host on port port . username and password can be provided if the proxy server requires authentication.

Example:

def getTicks(self):
  http = QHttp(self)
  self.connect(http, SIGNAL('done(bool)'), self, SLOT('showPage()'))
  http.setProxy("proxy.example.com", 3128)
  http.setHost("ticker.example.com")
  http.get("/ticks.asp")

def showPage(self):
  self.display(http.readAll())

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp supports non-transparent web proxy servers only, such as the Squid Web proxy cache server (from http://www.squid.org/). For transparent proxying, such as SOCKS5, use PySide.QtNetwork.QNetworkProxy instead.

Note

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setProxy() has to be called before PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() for it to take effect. If PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setProxy() is called after PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() , then it will not apply until after PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setHost() is called again.

See also

QFtp.setProxy()

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setProxy(proxy)

Parameters:	proxy – `PySide.QtNetwork.QNetworkProxy`
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

This is an overloaded function.

Enables HTTP proxy support using the proxy settings from proxy . If proxy is a transparent proxy, PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp will call QAbstractSocket.setProxy() on the underlying socket. If the type is QNetworkProxy.HttpCachingProxy , PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp will behave like the previous function.

Note

for compatibility with Qt 4.3, if the proxy type is QNetworkProxy.HttpProxy and the request type is unencrypted (that is, ConnectionModeHttp ), PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp will treat the proxy as a caching proxy.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setSocket(socket)¶

Parameters:	socket – `PySide.QtNetwork.QTcpSocket`
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

Replaces the internal PySide.QtNetwork.QTcpSocket that PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp uses with socket . This is useful if you want to use your own custom PySide.QtNetwork.QTcpSocket subclass instead of the plain PySide.QtNetwork.QTcpSocket that PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp uses by default. PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp does not take ownership of the socket, and will not delete socket when destroyed.

The function does not block; instead, it returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() .

When the request is started the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted.

Note: If PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp is used in a non-GUI thread that runs its own event loop, you must move socket to that thread before calling PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.setSocket() .

The function does not block; instead, it returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() and PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() .

When the request is started the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.requestFinished() signal is emitted.

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.sslErrors(errors)¶

Parameters:	errors –

PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.state()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.State`

Returns the current state of the object. When the state changes, the PySide.QtNetwork.QHttp.stateChanged() signal is emitted.
