Message 1 in thread
Hi all,
I know that QTextBrowser could browse html files, but I want to browse
real urls. What should I do?

What do you mean by "browse real URLs?" Do you mean to use the URL to launch
the system's browser (Internet Explorer/FireFox/Safari)?

Hi !
If you want to open website or mailto: addresses, you should look at
the QDesktopServices class, it is very handy, if you search for such
a function.
As I remember, it is available in Qt-4.3 or greater.

Please reply to the list. Others my want to see the answers...
QTextBrowser should work regardless of where the files come from?locally or
over the internet. Just use the URL as the file name. (This appears to work
to a point, I haven't played with it much.)

Hi Keith,
I found that QTextBrowser could not be used to browse url. What a pity.

The next version of Qt will include Webkit. That should be able to do it, I
think.
Until that time, QTextBrowser can in fact display any URL*, but it does not
automatically retrieve the documents it needs when browsing. You could
implement that yourself if you wish, but I think it will be quite a job.

* Note that QTextBrowser is not a complete webbrowser, but only supports a
subset of HTML and CSS. There is no support for things like javascript at
all, so you can not just browse any URL with it.
