QtScript + XMLHttpRequest

[gurmukh]

Hi there

I have a QT application that evaluates some functions in a JavaScript file. Some of these functions rely on the XMLHttpRequest object to retrieve data from external sources.

From my testing, it seems that when using the evaluate() method of the QScriptEngine, XMLHttpRequest is not supported.

Aside from creating the solution in QT and exposing it to the JavaScript, is there another way?

Thanks!

Webkit does support XMLHttpRequest.

Another way for doing what?

Yes I know webkit supports xmlhttprequest but I'm not using the browser. I'm using JavaScript files only.

I am asking if there Is another way round making an external request in JavaScript for qscriptengine instead of creating the function in qt.

I'm not sure QScriptEngine supports XMLHttpRequest, but QtWebkit does

Ok I'm assuming from your response that implementing the solution in QT is the way forward.

Since you didn't indicate your goal it's really hard to say what is the right solution in your case.
