Question : proxy issue and httpwebrequest

see code. this worked before, but seems like the admin has changed the proxy settings. Now when i use IE and browse to the site i get this warning (see below). Before there was no warning. I tried to add the site as trusted site, but this doesn't work.

Do i need to:

ask admin to add the website to the proxy settings?
change vb.net and what should be changed?
change a setting in IE? (i'm now sure if httpwebrequest uses any settings of IE)

Answer : proxy issue and httpwebrequest

Hi obad62,

first there's no 'readRowData' in the code you posted so I guess it's a type and should be 'readRawData' - anyhow, QDataStream::readRawData is declared as 'int QDataStream::readRawData ( char * s, int len )', so you have to pass a pointer to a 'char'-buffer and the size of the buffer. 'readRawData' then will fill the buffer with the loaded data and return the number of loaded bytes as 'int'.

BTW: You wrote you 'need to read binary data', but your code seems to be written to read string line by line from a text file. If you want to read a text file IMO you should use 'QTextStream' and its function 'readLine' instead of 'QDataStream'.

Hope that helps,

ZOPPO
