It seems that QNetworkAccessManager does not handle missing files retrieved by ftp if the ftp server requires authentication.
The situation is this: I'm downloading multiple files from the same ftp server that requires username and password. I successfully download a few files then send a GET for a file that does not exist. That request reports failure. I then send a GET request for a file that should be valid. That request never emits a finished signal or error.
Qt 4.7.4
Please help! This is driving me nuts. I think that if I can somehow reset the ftp backend, this problem might be solvable.
You are connecting the QNetworkReply signal finished() like this:
QObject::connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()), netty, SLOT(finished()));
Instead try the finished signal from the QNetworkAccessManager like this:
connect(&network, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply *)), netty, SLOT(finished(QNetworkReply *)));
Note that you will have to change the prototype for your finished() slot.
A final method would be to set a timer that calls a function like this:
void check(QNetworkReply *reply){
if(reply != NULL){
if(reply->isFinished())
finished(reply);
else
reply->abort();
}
}
And be aware of this bug:
