Detailed Description

network access manager for QGIS

This class implements the QGIS network access manager.

It's a singleton that can be used across QGIS.

Plugins can insert proxy factories and thereby redirect requests to individual proxies.

If no proxy factories are there or none returns a proxy for an URL a fallback proxy can be set. There's also a exclude list that defines URLs that the fallback proxy should not be used for, then no proxy will be used.

◆ blockingGet()

QgsNetworkReplyContent QgsNetworkAccessManager::blockingGet ( QNetworkRequest &  request,
const QString &  authCfg = QString(),
bool  forceRefresh = false,
QgsFeedback feedback = nullptr 
)
static

Posts a GET request to obtain the contents of the target request and returns a new QgsNetworkReplyContent object for reading.

The current thread will be blocked until the request is returned.

This method is safe to call in either the main thread or a worker thread.

If forceRefresh is false then previously cached replies may be used for the request. If it is set to true then a new query is always performed.

If an authCfg has been specified, then that authentication configuration required will automatically be applied to request. There is no need to manually apply the authentication to the request prior to calling this method.

The optional feedback argument can be used to abort ongoing requests.

The contents of the reply will be returned after the request is completed or an error occurs.

◆ downloadProgress

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::downloadProgress ( int  requestId,
qint64  bytesReceived,
qint64  bytesTotal 
)
signal

Emitted when a network reply receives a progress report.

The requestId argument reflects the unique ID identifying the original request which the progress report relates to.

The bytesReceived parameter indicates the number of bytes received, while bytesTotal indicates the total number of bytes expected to be downloaded. If the number of bytes to be downloaded is not known, bytesTotal will be -1.

This signal is propagated to the main thread QgsNetworkAccessManager instance, so it is necessary only to connect to the main thread's signal in order to receive notifications about requests created in any thread.

Since
QGIS 3.6

◆ excludeList()

QStringList QgsNetworkAccessManager::excludeList ( ) const

Returns the proxy exclude list.

This list consists of the beginning of URL strings which will not use the fallback proxy.

See also
noProxyList()
fallbackProxy()
setFallbackProxyAndExcludes()

Definition at line 168 of file qgsnetworkaccessmanager.cpp.

◆ fallbackProxy()

const QNetworkProxy & QgsNetworkAccessManager::fallbackProxy ( ) const

Returns the fallback proxy used by the manager.

The fallback proxy is used for URLs which no other proxy factory returned proxies for.

proxyFactories()
setFallbackProxyAndExcludes()

Definition at line 178 of file qgsnetworkaccessmanager.cpp.

◆ finished

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::finished ( QgsNetworkReplyContent  reply)
signal

Emitted whenever a pending network reply is finished.

The reply parameter will contain a QgsNetworkReplyContent object, containing all the useful information relating to the reply, including headers and reply content.

This signal is propagated to the main thread QgsNetworkAccessManager instance, so it is necessary only to connect to the main thread's signal in order to receive notifications about requests created in any thread.

◆ insertProxyFactory()

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::insertProxyFactory ( QNetworkProxyFactory *  factory)

Inserts a factory into the proxy factories list.

Ownership of factory is transferred to the manager.

removeProxyFactory()
proxyFactories()

Definition at line 153 of file qgsnetworkaccessmanager.cpp.

◆ instance()

QgsNetworkAccessManager * QgsNetworkAccessManager::instance ( Qt::ConnectionType  connectionType = Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection)
static

Returns a pointer to the active QgsNetworkAccessManager for the current thread.

With the connectionType parameter it is possible to setup the default connection type that is used to handle signals that might require user interaction and therefore need to be handled on the main thread. See in-depth discussion below.

Parameters
connectionTypeIn most cases the default of using a Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection is ok, to make a background thread wait for the main thread to answer such a request is fine and anything else is dangerous. However, in case the request was started on the main thread, one should execute a local event loop in a helper thread and freeze the main thread for the duration of the download. In this case, if an authentication request is sent from the background thread network access manager, the background thread should be blocked, the main thread be woken up, processEvents() executed once, the main thread frozen again and the background thread continued.

Definition at line 121 of file qgsnetworkaccessmanager.cpp.

◆ noProxyList()

QStringList QgsNetworkAccessManager::noProxyList ( ) const

Returns the no proxy list.

This list consists of the beginning of URL strings which will not use any proxy at all

)
signal

◆ requestAboutToBeCreated [2/2]

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::requestAboutToBeCreated ( QgsNetworkRequestParameters  request)
signal

const QString &  user,
const QString &  password 
)
signal

Emitted when network authentication details have been added to a request.

The requestId argument reflects the unique ID identifying the original request which the authentication relates to.

This signal is always sent from the main thread QgsNetworkAccessManager instance, so it is necessary only to connect to the main thread's signal in order to receive notifications about authentication requests from any thread.

This signal is for debugging and logging purposes only, and should not be used to respond to the requests. See QgsNetworkAuthenticationHandler for details on how to handle authentication requests.

const QList< QSslError > &  errors 
)
signal

Emitted when a network request encounters SSL errors.

The requestId argument reflects the unique ID identifying the original request which the SSL error relates to.

This signal is propagated to the main thread QgsNetworkAccessManager instance, so it is necessary only to connect to the main thread's signal in order to receive notifications about SSL errors from any thread.

This signal is for debugging and logging purposes only, and cannot be used to respond to the errors. See QgsSslErrorHandler for details on how to handle SSL errors and potentially ignore them.

signal

◆ setAuthHandler()

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::setAuthHandler ( std::unique_ptr< QgsNetworkAuthenticationHandler handler)

Sets the application network authentication handler, which is used to respond to network authentication prompts during network requests.

Ownership of handler is transferred to the main thread QgsNetworkAccessManager instance.

This method must ONLY be called on the main thread QgsNetworkAccessManager. It is not necessary to set handlers for background threads – the main thread QgsNetworkAuthenticationHandler will automatically be used in a thread-safe manner for any authentication requests encountered on background threads.

The default QgsNetworkAuthenticationHandler responds to request only by logging the request, but does not provide any username or password resolution.

◆ setFallbackProxyAndExcludes()

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::setFallbackProxyAndExcludes ( const QNetworkProxy &  proxy,
const QStringList &  excludes,
const QStringList &  noProxyURLs 
)

Sets the fallback proxy and URLs which shouldn't use it.

The fallback proxy is used for URLs which no other proxy factory returned proxies for. The excludes list specifies the beginning of URL strings which will not use this fallback proxy. The noProxyURLs list specifies the beginning of URL strings which will not use any proxy at all
