- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.Attribute#
Attribute codes for the QNetworkRequest
and QNetworkReply
.
Attributes are extra meta-data that are used to control the behavior of the request and to pass further information from the reply back to the application. Attributes are also extensible, allowing custom implementations to pass custom values.
The following table explains what the default attribute codes are, the QVariant types associated, the default value if said attribute is missing and whether it’s used in requests or replies.
Constant
Description
QNetworkRequest.HttpStatusCodeAttribute
Replies only, type: QMetaType::Int (no default) Indicates the HTTP status code received from the HTTP server (like 200, 304, 404, 401, etc.). If the connection was not HTTP-based, this attribute will not be present.
QNetworkRequest.HttpReasonPhraseAttribute
Replies only, type: QMetaType::QByteArray (no default) Indicates the HTTP reason phrase as received from the HTTP server (like “Ok”, “Found”, “Not Found”, “Access Denied”, etc.) This is the human-readable representation of the status code (see above). If the connection was not HTTP-based, this attribute will not be present.
QNetworkRequest.RedirectionTargetAttribute
Replies only, type: QMetaType::QUrl (no default) If present, it indicates that the server is redirecting the request to a different URL. The Network Access API does follow redirections by default, unless
ManualRedirectPolicy
is used. Additionally, ifUserVerifiedRedirectPolicy
is used, then this attribute will be set if the redirect was not followed. The returned URL might be relative. Use QUrl::resolved() to create an absolute URL out of it.QNetworkRequest.ConnectionEncryptedAttribute
Replies only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates whether the data was obtained through an encrypted (secure) connection.
QNetworkRequest.CacheLoadControlAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Int (default:
PreferNetwork
) Controls how the cache should be accessed. The possible values are those ofCacheLoadControl
. Note that the defaultQNetworkAccessManager
implementation does not support caching. However, this attribute may be used by certain backends to modify their requests (for example, for caching proxies).QNetworkRequest.CacheSaveControlAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: true) Controls if the data obtained should be saved to cache for future uses. If the value is false, the data obtained will not be automatically cached. If true, data may be cached, provided it is cacheable (what is cacheable depends on the protocol being used).
QNetworkRequest.SourceIsFromCacheAttribute
Replies only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates whether the data was obtained from cache or not.
QNetworkRequest.DoNotBufferUploadDataAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates whether the
QNetworkAccessManager
code is allowed to buffer the upload data, e.g. when doing a HTTP POST. When using this flag with sequential upload data, theContentLengthHeader
header must be set.QNetworkRequest.HttpPipeliningAllowedAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates whether the
QNetworkAccessManager
code is allowed to use HTTP pipelining with this request.QNetworkRequest.HttpPipeliningWasUsedAttribute
Replies only, type: QMetaType::Bool Indicates whether the HTTP pipelining was used for receiving this reply.
QNetworkRequest.CustomVerbAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::QByteArray Holds the value for the custom HTTP verb to send (destined for usage of other verbs than GET, POST, PUT and DELETE). This verb is set when calling
sendCustomRequest()
.QNetworkRequest.CookieLoadControlAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Int (default:
Automatic
) Indicates whether to send ‘Cookie’ headers in the request. This attribute is set to false by Qt WebKit when creating a cross-origin XMLHttpRequest where withCredentials has not been set explicitly to true by the Javascript that created the request. See here for more information. (This value was introduced in 4.7.)QNetworkRequest.CookieSaveControlAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Int (default:
Automatic
) Indicates whether to save ‘Cookie’ headers received from the server in reply to the request. This attribute is set to false by Qt WebKit when creating a cross-origin XMLHttpRequest where withCredentials has not been set explicitly to true by the Javascript that created the request. See here for more information. (This value was introduced in 4.7.)QNetworkRequest.AuthenticationReuseAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Int (default:
Automatic
) Indicates whether to use cached authorization credentials in the request, if available. If this is set toManual
and the authentication mechanism is ‘Basic’ or ‘Digest’, Qt will not send an ‘Authorization’ HTTP header with any cached credentials it may have for the request’s URL. This attribute is set toManual
by Qt WebKit when creating a cross-origin XMLHttpRequest where withCredentials has not been set explicitly to true by the Javascript that created the request. See here for more information. (This value was introduced in 4.7.)QNetworkRequest.BackgroundRequestAttribute
Type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates that this is a background transfer, rather than a user initiated transfer. Depending on the platform, background transfers may be subject to different policies.
QNetworkRequest.Http2AllowedAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: true) Indicates whether the
QNetworkAccessManager
code is allowed to use HTTP/2 with this request. This applies to SSL requests or ‘cleartext’ HTTP/2 if Http2CleartextAllowedAttribute is set.QNetworkRequest.Http2WasUsedAttribute
Replies only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates whether HTTP/2 was used for receiving this reply. (This value was introduced in 5.9.)
QNetworkRequest.EmitAllUploadProgressSignalsAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates whether all upload signals should be emitted. By default, the uploadProgress signal is emitted only in 100 millisecond intervals. (This value was introduced in 5.5.)
QNetworkRequest.OriginalContentLengthAttribute
Replies only, type QMetaType::Int Holds the original content-length attribute before being invalidated and removed from the header when the data is compressed and the request was marked to be decompressed automatically. (This value was introduced in 5.9.)
QNetworkRequest.RedirectPolicyAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Int, should be one of the
RedirectPolicy
values (default:NoLessSafeRedirectPolicy
). (This value was introduced in 5.9.)QNetworkRequest.Http2DirectAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) If set, this attribute will force
QNetworkAccessManager
to use HTTP/2 protocol without initial HTTP/2 protocol negotiation. Use of this attribute implies prior knowledge that a particular server supports HTTP/2. The attribute works with SSL or with ‘cleartext’ HTTP/2 if Http2CleartextAllowedAttribute is set. If a server turns out to not support HTTP/2, when HTTP/2 direct was specified,QNetworkAccessManager
gives up, without attempting to fall back to HTTP/1.1. If both Http2AllowedAttribute and Http2DirectAttribute are set, Http2DirectAttribute takes priority. (This value was introduced in 5.11.)QNetworkRequest.AutoDeleteReplyOnFinishAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) If set, this attribute will make
QNetworkAccessManager
delete theQNetworkReply
after having emitted “finished”. (This value was introduced in 5.14.)QNetworkRequest.ConnectionCacheExpiryTimeoutSecondsAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Int To set when the TCP connections to a server (HTTP1 and HTTP2) should be closed after the last pending request had been processed. (This value was introduced in 6.3.)
QNetworkRequest.Http2CleartextAllowedAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) If set, this attribute will tell
QNetworkAccessManager
to attempt an upgrade to HTTP/2 over cleartext (also known as h2c). Until Qt 7 the default value for this attribute can be overridden to true by setting the QT_NETWORK_H2C_ALLOWED environment variable. This attribute is ignored if the Http2AllowedAttribute is not set. (This value was introduced in 6.3.)QNetworkRequest.UseCredentialsAttribute
Requests only, type: QMetaType::Bool (default: false) Indicates if the underlying XMLHttpRequest cross-site Access-Control requests should be made using credentials. Has no effect on same-origin requests. This only affects the WebAssembly platform. (This value was introduced in 6.5.)
QNetworkRequest.User
Special type. Additional information can be passed in QVariants with types ranging from User to UserMax. The default implementation of Network Access will ignore any request attributes in this range and it will not produce any attributes in this range in replies. The range is reserved for extensions of
QNetworkAccessManager
.QNetworkRequest.UserMax
Special type. See User.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.CacheLoadControl#
Controls the caching mechanism of QNetworkAccessManager
.
Constant
Description
QNetworkRequest.AlwaysNetwork
always load from network and do not check if the cache has a valid entry (similar to the “Reload” feature in browsers); in addition, force intermediate caches to re-validate.
QNetworkRequest.PreferNetwork
default value; load from the network if the cached entry is older than the network entry. This will never return stale data from the cache, but revalidate resources that have become stale.
QNetworkRequest.PreferCache
load from cache if available, otherwise load from network. Note that this can return possibly stale (but not expired) items from cache.
QNetworkRequest.AlwaysCache
only load from cache, indicating error if the item was not cached (i.e., off-line mode)
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.LoadControl#
Indicates if an aspect of the request’s loading mechanism has been manually overridden, e.g. by Qt WebKit.
Constant
Description
QNetworkRequest.Automatic
default value: indicates default behaviour.
QNetworkRequest.Manual
indicates behaviour has been manually overridden.
New in version 4.7.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.Priority#
This enum lists the possible network request priorities.
Constant
Description
QNetworkRequest.HighPriority
High priority
QNetworkRequest.NormalPriority
Normal priority
QNetworkRequest.LowPriority
Low priority
New in version 4.7.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.RedirectPolicy#
Indicates whether the Network Access API should automatically follow a HTTP redirect response or not.
Constant
Description
QNetworkRequest.ManualRedirectPolicy
Not following any redirects.
QNetworkRequest.NoLessSafeRedirectPolicy
Default value: Only “http”->”http”, “http” -> “https” or “https” -> “https” redirects are allowed.
QNetworkRequest.SameOriginRedirectPolicy
Require the same protocol, host and port. Note, http://example.com and http://example.com:80 will fail with this policy (implicit/explicit ports are considered to be a mismatch).
QNetworkRequest.UserVerifiedRedirectPolicy
Client decides whether to follow each redirect by handling the redirected() signal, emitting redirectAllowed() on the
QNetworkReply
object to allow the redirect or aborting/finishing it to reject the redirect. This can be used, for example, to ask the user whether to accept the redirect, or to decide based on some app-specific configuration.
Note
When Qt handles redirects it will, for legacy and compatibility reasons, issue the redirected request using GET when the server returns a 301 or 302 response, regardless of the original method used, unless it was HEAD.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.TransferTimeoutConstant#
A constant that can be used for enabling transfer timeouts with a preset value.
Constant
Description
QNetworkRequest.DefaultTransferTimeoutConstant
The transfer timeout in milliseconds. Used if setTimeout() is called without an argument.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.attribute(code[, defaultValue=None])#
- Parameters:
code – Attribute
defaultValue – object
- Return type:
object
Returns the attribute associated with the code code
. If the attribute has not been set, it returns defaultValue
.
Note
This function does not apply the defaults listed in Attribute
.

If the decompressed size of a reply is smaller than this, Qt will simply decompress it, without further checking.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.hasRawHeader(headerName)#
- Parameters:
headerName –
PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

bool
Returns true
if the raw header headerName
is present in this network request.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.header(header)#
- Parameters:
header –
KnownHeaders
- Return type:
object
Returns the value of the known network header header
if it is present in this request. If it is not present, returns QVariant() (i.e., an invalid variant).

KnownHeaders
rawHeader()
setHeader()
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.http2Configuration()#
- Return type:
Returns the current parameters that QNetworkAccessManager
is using for this request and its underlying HTTP/2 connection. This is either a configuration previously set by an application or a default configuration.
The default values that QNetworkAccessManager
is using are:
Window size for connection-level flowcontrol is 2147483647 octets
Window size for stream-level flowcontrol is 214748364 octets
Max frame size is 16384
By default, server push is disabled, Huffman compression and string indexing are enabled.

Returns the maximum number of redirects allowed to be followed for this request.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.__ne__(other)#
- Parameters:
- Return type:
bool
Returns false
if this object is not the same as other
.
See also
operator==()
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.__eq__(other)#
- Parameters:
- Return type:
bool
Returns true
if this object is the same as other
(i.e., if they have the same URL, same headers and same meta-data settings).
See also
operator!=()
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.originatingObject()#
- Return type:
Returns a reference to the object that initiated this network request; returns None
if not set or the object has been destroyed.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.peerVerifyName()#
- Return type:
str
Returns the host name set for the certificate validation, as set by setPeerVerifyName
. By default this returns a null string.
See also
Return the priority of this request.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.rawHeader(headerName)#
- Parameters:
headerName –
PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray
- Return type:
Returns the raw form of header headerName
. If no such header is present, an empty QByteArray is returned, which may be indistinguishable from a header that is present but has no content (use hasRawHeader()
to find out if the header exists or not).
Raw headers can be set with setRawHeader()
or with setHeader()
.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.rawHeaderList()#
- Return type:
.list of QByteArray
Returns a list of all raw headers that are set in this network request. The list is in the order that the headers were set.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setAttribute(code, value)#
- Parameters:
code – Attribute
value – object
Sets the attribute associated with code code
to be value value
. If the attribute is already set, the previous value is discarded. In special, if value
is an invalid QVariant, the attribute is unset.

Attribute
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setDecompressedSafetyCheckThreshold(threshold)#
- Parameters:
threshold – int
Sets the threshold
for archive bomb checks.
Some supported compression algorithms can, in a tiny compressed file, encode a spectacularly huge decompressed file. This is only possible if the decompressed content is extremely monotonous, which is seldom the case for real files being transmitted in good faith: files exercising such insanely high compression ratios are typically payloads of buffer-overrun attacks, or denial-of-service (by using up too much memory) attacks. Consequently, files that decompress to huge sizes, particularly from tiny compressed forms, are best rejected as suspected malware.
If a reply’s decompressed size is bigger than this threshold (by default, 10 MiB, i.e. 10 * 1024 * 1024), Qt will check the compression ratio: if that is unreasonably large (40:1 for GZip and Deflate, or 100:1 for Brotli and ZStandard), the reply will be treated as an error. Setting the threshold to -1
disables this check.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setHeader(header, value)#
- Parameters:
header –
KnownHeaders
value – object
Sets the value of the known header header
to be value
, overriding any previously set headers. This operation also sets the equivalent raw HTTP header.
See also
KnownHeaders
setRawHeader()
header()
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setHttp2Configuration(configuration)#
- Parameters:
configuration –
PySide6.QtNetwork.QHttp2Configuration
Sets request’s HTTP/2 parameters from configuration
.
Note
The configuration must be set prior to making a request.
Note
HTTP/2 multiplexes several streams in a single HTTP/2 connection. This implies that QNetworkAccessManager
will use the configuration found in the first request from a series of requests sent to the same host.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setMaximumRedirectsAllowed(maximumRedirectsAllowed)#
- Parameters:
maximumRedirectsAllowed – int
Sets the maximum number of redirects allowed to be followed for this request to maxRedirectsAllowed
.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setOriginatingObject(object)#
- Parameters:
object –
PySide6.QtCore.QObject
Allows setting a reference to the object
initiating the request.
For example Qt WebKit sets the originating object to the QWebFrame that initiated the request.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setPeerVerifyName(peerName)#
- Parameters:
peerName – str
Sets peerName
as host name for the certificate validation, instead of the one used for the TCP connection.
See also
Set the priority of this request to priority
.
Note
The priority
is only a hint to the network access manager. It can use it or not. Currently it is used for HTTP to decide which request should be sent first to a server.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setRawHeader(headerName, value)#
- Parameters:
headerName –
PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray
value –
PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray
Warning
This section contains snippets that were automatically translated from C++ to Python and may contain errors.
Sets the header headerName
to be of value headerValue
. If headerName
corresponds to a known header (see KnownHeaders
), the raw format will be parsed and the corresponding “cooked” header will be set as well.
For example:
request.setRawHeader(QByteArray("Last-Modified"), QByteArray("Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT"))
will also set the known header LastModifiedHeader
to be the QDateTime object of the parsed date.
Note
Setting the same header twice overrides the previous setting. To accomplish the behaviour of multiple HTTP headers of the same name, you should concatenate the two values, separating them with a comma (“,”) and set one single raw header.

- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setSslConfiguration(configuration)#
- Parameters:
configuration –
PySide6.QtNetwork.QSslConfiguration
Sets this network request’s SSL configuration to be config
. The settings that apply are the private key, the local certificate, the TLS protocol (e.g. TLS 1.3), the CA certificates and the ciphers that the SSL backend is allowed to use.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setTransferTimeout([timeout=QNetworkRequest.TransferTimeoutConstant.DefaultTransferTimeoutConstant])#
- Parameters:
timeout – int
Sets timeout
as the transfer timeout in milliseconds.
Transfers are aborted if no bytes are transferred before the timeout expires. Zero means no timer is set. If no argument is provided, the timeout is DefaultTransferTimeoutConstant
. If this function is not called, the timeout is disabled and has the value zero.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.setUrl(url)#
- Parameters:
url –
PySide6.QtCore.QUrl
Sets the URL this network request is referring to be url
.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.sslConfiguration()#
- Return type:
Returns this network request’s SSL configuration. By default this is the same as defaultConfiguration()
.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.swap(other)#
- Parameters:
Swaps this network request with other
. This function is very fast and never fails.
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.transferTimeout()#
- Return type:
int
Returns the timeout used for transfers, in milliseconds.
This timeout is zero if setTransferTimeout
hasn’t been called, which means that the timeout is not used.
See also
- PySide6.QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.url()#
- Return type:
Returns the URL this network request is referring to.
