QHttpRequestHeader Class Reference
[QtNetwork module]

Detailed Description

The QHttpRequestHeader class contains request header information for HTTP.

This class is used in the QHttp class to report the header information if the client requests something from the server.

HTTP requests have a method which describes the request's action. The most common requests are "GET" and "POST". In addition to the request method the header also includes a request-URI to specify the location for the method to use.

The method, request-URI and protocol-version can be set using a constructor or later using setRequest(). The values can be obtained using method(), path(), majorVersion() and minorVersion().

Note that the request-URI must be in the format expected by the HTTP server. That is, all reserved characters must be encoded in %HH (where HH are two hexadecimal digits). See QUrl::toPercentEncoding() for more information.

Important inherited functions: setValue() and value().
