QNetworkReply en 301-omleiding

Ondersteuning voor automatische omleiding is toegevoegd aan Qt 5.6 (QNetworkRequest::FollowRedirectsAttribute ).

Het is standaard niet ingeschakeld:

QNetworkRequest req(QUrl("https://example.com/"));
req.setAttribute(QNetworkRequest::FollowRedirectsAttribute, true);

Blijkbaar niet.

Er is een officieel HOWTO-artikel op http://developer.nokia.com/community/wiki/Handling_an_HTTP_redirect_with_QNetworkAccessManager (helaas dode link)
