use `QNetworkAccessManager` post request - qt

Question

i use QNetworkAccessManager post request to a website:
void Spider::getProducts()
{
connect(&manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), this, SLOT(getProducts(QNetworkReply*)));
request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setUrl(QUrl("http://www.example.com/query"));
for(int i = 0; i < categories.size(); ++i)
{
if(categories[i].isCategory())
{
isSubCategory = false;
emit manager.finished(reply);
}
else
{
for(int page_number = 0; page_number < categories[i].getPageCount(); ++i)
{
isSubCategory = true;
QJsonObject json;
json.insert("NValue", categories[i].getNValue());
json.insert("NodeId", categories[i].getNodeId());
json.insert("StoreId", categories[i].getStoreId());
json.insert("StoreType", categories[i].getStoreType());
json.insert("PageNumber", ++page_number);
json.insert("SubCategoryId", categories[i].getSubCategoryId());
QJsonDocument doc;
doc.setObject(json);
QByteArray request_body = doc.toJson();
manager.post(request, request_body);
}
}
}
}
when i run this program, at beginning, this program run normally, after running for a while, it will stop: neither terminated nor continue to run. i can not figure out why it behavior like this? is there anything that needed to be noticed when use QNetworkAccess? or i am refused by that website? ...

Answer 1

You are using the same QNetworkAccessManager object in a loop multiple times. It is incorrect. For each separate post request you need a separate QNetworkAccessManager object if you want to send requests in parallel. Else if you only want to use a single instance then you need to serialize your post requests by sending next post request when the previous ends in the finished slot.
Updated: Try out this code, it uses single QNetworkAccessManager object, you will need to check for correct place of i++ as per your needs
connect(&manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)),
this, SLOT(getProducts(QNetworkReply*))); // add this to constructor of your program
void Spider::getProducts()
{
static int i = 0;
request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setUrl(QUrl("http://www.example.com/query"));
while(categories[i].isCategory())
{
isSubCategory = false;
i++;
}
if(i == categories.size())
{
emit allPostRequestsDone();
return;
}
else
{
i++;
if(page_number < categories[i].getPageCount())
{
isSubCategory = true;
QJsonObject json;
json.insert("NValue", categories[i].getNValue());
json.insert("NodeId", categories[i].getNodeId());
json.insert("StoreId", categories[i].getStoreId());
json.insert("StoreType", categories[i].getStoreType());
json.insert("PageNumber", ++page_number);
json.insert("SubCategoryId", categories[i].getSubCategoryId());
QJsonDocument doc;
doc.setObject(json);
QByteArray request_body = doc.toJson();
manager.post(request, request_body);
}
}
}
}
