Error: Protocol "https" is unknown
-
Hello.
I am developing an app for a Linux unattended terminal (U1000) using Qt 5.2.1 C++.
Currently I am restricted to this version as the vendor has yet to support newer versions.I have a QNetworkRequest that runs well when I run the app on Windows. Both http and https works.
But when I deploy to the device, I am getting: Error: Protocol "https" is unknown.I checked the device via adb with openssl version and it has OpenSSL 1.0.2t 10 Sep 2019.
I have also downloaded OpenSSL in the Qt maintenance tool.Here is my request:
void NetworkManager::fetchData() { // Setup network manager QUrl url("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"); QNetworkRequest request(url); // Make the GET request reply = manager.get(request); // Connect reply's finished signal to the slot connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()), this, SLOT(handleNetworkReply())); }and a snippet of my .pro file:
LIBS += -LC:/NPT_SDK/Linux/Compiler/4.9.4/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/ -lssl -lcrypto@jabille have you checked if it supports SLL using QSslSocket::supportsSsl() ?
If yes , you have to link your app with the exact openssl libs and corresponding to the openssl installed version.
For linux, you can try android openssl libraries. check this https://github.com/KDAB/android_openssl -
Hi,
As @Ronel_qtmaster wrote, you need matching OpenSSL but only the series should be the same e.g. 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 (it's not compatible with 1.0).
Also, you have to ensure that Qt is built with OpenSSL support. -

Error is: Use of undeclared identifier QSslSocket

As silly as it may sound: did you include the proper header ?

@SGaist Yes. I #include <QSslSocket> and it the code is building properly on my Qt 6.7.3 Kit (Windows) but not on my Qt 5.2.1 Kit (Generates package installed to Linux device).
-
Yes, I also have QT += network. I can confirm that network module is there.
I am able to get a proper response for a QNetworkRequest in 5.2.1 but only in http. If I set the url to https, I get the error: Protocol https is unknown. QNetworkAccessManager supportedSchemes() also does not list https.How do I check if it has OpenSSL support other than QSslSocket::supportsSsl()? The thing is that the qt5.2.1-arm-linux came from the device vendor. It is included in their SDK. So, they might be some things that are missing.
Also, sorry if I am replying to both of you at once. I can only post every 600 seconds as a newbie here.

You have the answer: the class is not available so it was not built with OpenSSL support.
You have to check with your vendor.
On that note, seeing the version of Qt, the versions of OpenSSL supported at that time are also now obsolete so I would highly recommend considering porting to a more recent version of Qt.

@SGaist I see. I'll talk to the vendor regarding this.
When I tried to copy the path of the #include <QSslSocket>, I can see that it is in the C:\NPT_SDK\Linux\Core\third-party\qt5.2.1-arm-linux\include\QtNetwork and inside qsslsocket.h there is a flag QT_NO_SSL. Maybe that is why it is disabled? I have no clue how that is set or where it's from. -

No, it is there because Qt was built without SSL support. You need a Qt build with SSL support.
