Detailed Description

A thread safe class for performing blocking (sync) network requests, with full support for QGIS proxy and authentication settings.

This class should be used whenever a blocking network request is required. Unlike implementations which rely on QApplication::processEvents() or creation of a QEventLoop, this class is completely thread safe and can be used on either the main thread or background threads without issue.

Redirects are automatically handled by the class.

After completion of a request, the reply content should be retrieved by calling getReplyContent(). This method returns a QgsNetworkReplyContent container, which is safe and cheap to copy and pass between threads without issue.

Since: QGIS 3.6

Member Function Documentation

◆ abort

void QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::abort ( )

slot

Aborts the network request immediately.

Definition at line 224 of file qgsblockingnetworkrequest.cpp.

◆ authCfg()

QString QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::authCfg ( ) const

Returns the authentication config id which will be used during the request.

See also: setAuthCfg()

Definition at line 47 of file qgsblockingnetworkrequest.cpp.

◆ downloadFinished

void QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::downloadFinished ( )

signal

Emitted once a request has finished downloading.

◆ downloadProgress

void QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::downloadProgress	(	qint64	,
		qint64
	)

signal

Emitted when when data arrives during a request.

◆ errorMessage()

QString QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::errorMessage ( ) const

inline

Returns the error message string, after a get() or post() request has been made.

Definition at line 112 of file qgsblockingnetworkrequest.h.

◆ get()

QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::ErrorCode QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::get	(	QNetworkRequest &	request,
		bool	forceRefresh = `false`,
		QgsFeedback *	feedback = `nullptr`
	)

Performs a "get" operation on the specified request.

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 set, then any 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 method will return NoError if the get operation was successful. The contents of the reply can be retrieved by calling reply().

If an error was encountered then a specific ErrorCode will be returned, and a detailed error message can be retrieved by calling errorMessage().

◆ post()

QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::ErrorCode QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::post	(	QNetworkRequest &	request,
		const QByteArray &	data,
		bool	forceRefresh = `false`,
		QgsFeedback *	feedback = `nullptr`
	)

Performs a "post" operation on the specified request, using the given data.

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 set, then any 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 method will return NoError if the get operation was successful. The contents of the reply can be retrieved by calling reply().

If an error was encountered then a specific ErrorCode will be returned, and a detailed error message can be retrieved by calling errorMessage().

◆ reply()

QgsNetworkReplyContent QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::reply ( ) const

inline

Returns the content of the network reply, after a get() or post() request has been made.

Definition at line 117 of file qgsblockingnetworkrequest.h.

◆ setAuthCfg()

void QgsBlockingNetworkRequest::setAuthCfg ( const QString & authCfg )

Sets the authentication config id which should be used during the request.
