Hi, I am trying to download the following file from the internet using the QHttp get function- http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=DVAX&d=11&e=14&f=2006&g=d&a=3&b=7&c=1992&ignore=.csv This is a csv file showing showing some stock data. I use the following 2 lines to do this - http->setHost(httpUrl.host(), httpUrl.port(80)); httpGetId = http->get(httpUrl.path(), file); where http: QHttp instance; httpUrl : QUrl - set to the above URL I am successful in downloading html files using the same code, but when I try and download the above file it seems to download some html content and not the file content. Thanks in advance, R --------------------------------- Have a burning question? Go to Yahoo! Answers and get answers from real people who know.

First, check what the html content is -- maybe an error message page. Second, check the response code of the request -- it should be 200 when successful, orher (not a 2xx code but 3xx, 4xx or 5xx) when an error occurs. -- [ signature omitted ]

Hi Dimitri,
Here is the code I use to set the URL and get the file:
---------------------------------------------------------
QUrl httpUrl;
httpUrl.setUrl("http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=DVAX&d=11&e=14&f=2006&g=d&a=3&b=7&c=1992&ignore=.csv";);
QFileInfo fileInfo(httpUrl.path());
QString fileName = fileInfo.fileName();
QFile* file = new QFile(fileName);
if (!file->open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
{
return;
}
http->setHost(httpUrl.host(), httpUrl.port(80));
httpGetId = http->get(httpUrl.path(), file);
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//http: QHttp instance, which i create in my constructor
On using the above URL I am able to write the file "table.csv" (this is the file I am trying to download) to disk but the content seems wrong. If you copy paste the above URL in your browser and open the file , you will see the correct file content . Also the correct file is a much larger file. Right now I get some small file "table.csv" with html code in it.
Hope this helps.

How do you see that?

The Url contains a query string. You are not passing this to
http->get(). You are merely passing the path ("/table.csv").
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qurl.html#setPath
Perhaps you want
httpGetId = http->get(httpUrl.toEncoded(), file);
Hope this helps,

Hi, > httpGetId = http->get(httpUrl.path(), file); From the QHttp:get() documentation: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qhttp.html#get The function does not block and returns immediately. The request is scheduled, and its execution is performed asynchronously. The function returns a unique identifier which is passed by requestStarted() and requestFinished(). When the request is started the requestStarted() signal is emitted. When it is finished the requestFinished() signal is emitted. Is there an event loop running in your application? -- [ signature omitted ]
