Basic Networking with Qt

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Covers Qt networking primitives: QTcpSocket/QTcpServer for TCP, QUdpSocket for UDP broadcast discovery, QSslSocket for encryption, QHostInfo/QDnsLookup for names, and QNetworkAccessManager/QNetworkReply for HTTP. Builds a local LAN chat that autodiscovers peers by broadcasting a magic string every 10 seconds, receives chat via a small QTcpServer + HTTP state machine, and sends JSON messages from QML using XMLHttpRequest through QNetworkAccessManager JSON over HTTP. Live demo shows discovery and messaging working.
