Qt: QUrl::fromUserInput intepretes FTP Url wrong

I have some issue in passing a FTP string into QUrl:

std::cout << QUrl::fromUserInput("ftp://user@host.com:password@ftphost:21/path/file.ext").toString().toStdString().c_str() << std::endl;

Is always resulting in 

http://ftp//user@host.com:password@ftphost:21/path/file.ext

which is obviously wrong. What's the problem with the above FTP Url? Or is that a known issue within Qt4?

I am working on Linux, using Qt 4.8.1.

Even following code

if(QUrl("ftp://user@host.com:password@ftphost:21/path/file.ext").isValid())
    std::cout << "is valid" << std::endl;
else
    std::cout << "is not valid" << std::endl;

Is resulting in "is not valid"

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • You need manually replace @ in username with %40. That's what QUrl does internally if QUrl::setUserName() is called with user@domain.tld.
