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.

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.

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::setFallbackProxyAndExcludes ( const QNetworkProxy &  proxy,

Sets fallback proxy and URL that shouldn't use it.

void QgsNetworkAccessManager::setupDefaultProxyAndCache ( Qt::ConnectionType  connectionType = Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection)

Setup the QgsNetworkAccessManager (NAM) according to the user's settings.

The connectionType sets up 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 in the documentation for the constructor of this class.

Definition at line 292 of file qgsnetworkaccessmanager.cpp.

bool QgsNetworkAccessManager::useSystemProxy ( ) const
inline

Returns whether the system proxy should be used.
