QNetworkRequest returning null - c++

Question

I have to use post to a google script (see below) and I want in the end of the script receive a feedback from it that everything went okay.
function doPost(e){
var idm = e.parameter.idm;
var sheet_purchaseHistory = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('purchaseHistory');
var date = new Date();
var time = Utilities.formatDate(date, 'Asia/Tokyo', 'yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss');
sheet_purchaseHistory.getRange(sheet_purchaseHistory.getLastRow()+1, 1).setValue(time);
sheet_purchaseHistory.getRange(sheet_purchaseHistory.getLastRow(), 2).setValue(mailadress);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({'status': 'success'})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
In my cpp code I have:
header (.h)
QNetworkRequest request;
QNetworkAccessManager *manager;
QByteArray ba;
QNetworkReply* reply;
Constructor:
manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this); // I tried with and without parsing the (this)
request.setUrl(QUrl("https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzhHBpZ8jMfa2bwE_A0lQJNqOzVl894dcjkch_-0mNC6EX9usn1/exec"));
Inside a function:
manager->setRedirectPolicy(QNetworkRequest::NoLessSafeRedirectPolicy);
request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
QUrlQuery postData;
postData.addQueryItem("idm", "string");
QNetworkReply *rp = manager->post(request,postData.toString(QUrl::FullyEncoded).toUtf8());
QEventLoop loop;
connect(rp, SIGNAL(finished()), &loop, SLOT(quit())); //readready SIGNAL also tried
loop.exec();
QByteArray data = rp->readAll();
QString dataReply(data);
qDebug() << dataReply;
What happens is that I always receive null. I already tried several combinations such as different signals (readyread, finished...), using QUrlQuery and ByteArray, setting different headers, but with no success.
I also noticed that, when my parameters are in my request (https://address?parameters=string) I can receive the return. (In this case by removing the parameters from "postdate" and including them in post "req"
QNetworkReply *rep = man->post(req,postdata);
PRINT OF THE RESTEStTEST: I tried to post using https://resttesttest.com/ and it worked properly. It gave the following comments
Could someone help me please?

Answer 1

With the help of the following command using curl I was able to analyze the request:
curl --trace-ascii output.txt \
-d "idm=0123" \
-L "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzhHBpZ8jMfa2bwE_A0lQJNqOzVl894dcjkch_-0mNC6EX9usn1/exec"
In the .txt file is the following line:
# ...
== Info: Issue another request to this URL: 'https://script.googleusercontent.com/macros/echo?user_content_key=odFvp9PfkjN-H6-IhBUWhj1XC4LbgGXq3moew78NtUkeQAI4UCwjEaz33jH1p_VSrMLvl9R-1p2f-LCuIURpcA9ynEuB76Kdm5_BxDlH2jW0nuo2oDemN9CCS2h10ox_1xSncGQajx_ryfhECjZEnDmqvNuuY9_pIuNLYjrNDt9AJiVy2Q9_jt9ucsQKYIYmzKj2_WuA-BZmfTxlnQZT_cbqvF_hZXXo&lib=MbJJIMSCHwBgrN--y_1G9PbYl-ov70HvX'
== Info: Switch from POST to GET
# ...
That tells us that in the redirection is changed from POST to GET so it is not taken into account with the attribute QNetworkRequest::NoLessSafeRedirectPolicy that continues trying with POST. So the solution is to handle the redirect manually.
QNetworkAccessManager manager;
QNetworkRequest request;
QUrl url("https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzhHBpZ8jMfa2bwE_A0lQJNqOzVl894dcjkch_-0mNC6EX9usn1/exec");
request.setUrl(url);
request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
QUrlQuery postData;
postData.addQueryItem("idm", "string");
QNetworkReply *reply_post = manager.post(request, postData.toString(QUrl::FullyEncoded).toUtf8());
QEventLoop loop;
QObject::connect(reply_post, &QNetworkReply::finished, &loop, &QEventLoop::quit);
loop.exec();
QNetworkRequest redirect_request;
redirect_request.setUrl(reply_post->attribute(QNetworkRequest::RedirectionTargetAttribute).toUrl());
reply_post->deleteLater();
QNetworkReply *reply_get = manager.get(redirect_request);
QObject::connect(reply_get, &QNetworkReply::finished, &loop, &QEventLoop::quit);
loop.exec();
qDebug()<< reply_get->readAll();
reply_get->deleteLater();
Output:
OK
