Hi all,
my understanding looking at the implementation of the
XMLHttpRequest.send() method in QtDeclarative [1] is that the
said method only accepts UTF-8 data as parameter.
Now, I would like to be able to send arbitrary data (in order to, for
example, upload a JPEG image to flickr) and I believe that the
limitation above is preventing me from doing so: my QByteArray (which
I'm actually preparing from the C++ side and then converting into a
QString with QString::fromUtf8()) is not being transmitted properly. No
surprise here, as I understand that the QString::fromUtf8() method will
stop as soon as a zero byte is found.
But than, what is the way forward? I see that javascript has some more
types such as Blob and ArrayBufferView, which at least judging by the
name could be suitable types for transporting binary data. I see that
there is a newArrayBuffer() method in QJSEngine's private class; would
exporting that to the client help in any way?
Or should the implementation of XMLHttpRequest.send() try to first
convert its parameter to a QByteArray (via QJSValue::fromScriptValue())
and only fallback to QString if that fails?
Ciao,
Alberto
