Hi,
I know this is more of a Qt question, but since I don’t have control over how Qt is built with Deadline, I wanted to ask here.
When switching from Deadline 6 to 7, I noticed it went from Qt4 to Qt5. Also, my ability to download things over HTTPS using QNetworkAccessManager no longer works, throwing a 301 error (Unknown Protocol). I think this means Deadline 7 (Qt5) was not built with OpenSSL support. Is it possible for me to add it back (with dll files)?
Found this thread, which I’m thinking might actually be from you as well.

We checked the configuration that was used to build Qt5, and it looks like the OpenSSL part was disabled. We’ve been considering upgrading from Qt 5.2 to 5.3 anyway because it fixes some bugs, so this is just another reason to bite the bullet and rebuild. Hopefully we’re able to get everything rebuilt in time for beta 2 or beta 3.
Cheers,
Ryan
Oh the joys of building qt…
I see, good to know. Yeah, I was trying to download thumbnails from ftrack. I couldn’t figure it out, so I ended up doing it the stupid way which was downloading with Python’s urllib, and then reading the downloaded image with QPixmap.
