<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Q3UrlOperator class provides common operations on URLs.</p>
<p>This class operates on hierarchical structures (such as filesystems) using URLs. Its API facilitates all the common operations:</p>
<p><table align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<thead><tr valign="top" class="qt-style"><th>Operation</th><th>Function</th></tr></thead>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td>List files</td><td><a href="q3urloperator.html#listChildren">listChildren</a>()</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td>Make a directory</td><td><a href="q3urloperator.html#mkdir">mkdir</a>()</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td>Remove a file</td><td><a href="q3urloperator.html#remove">remove</a>()</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td>Rename a file</td><td><a href="q3urloperator.html#rename">rename</a>()</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td>Get a file</td><td><a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>()</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td>Put a file</td><td><a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>()</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td>Copy a file</td><td><a href="q3urloperator.html#copy">copy</a>()</td></tr>
</table></p>
<p>You can obtain additional information about the URL with <a href="q3urloperator.html#isDir">isDir</a>() and <a href="q3urloperator.html#info">info</a>(). If a directory is to be traversed using <a href="q3urloperator.html#listChildren">listChildren</a>(), a name filter can be set with <a href="q3urloperator.html#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>().</p>
<p>A Q3UrlOperator can be used like this, for example to download a file (and assuming that the FTP protocol is registered):</p>
<pre> Q3UrlOperator *op = new Q3UrlOperator();
op->copy( QString("ftp:<span class="comment">//ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-2.1.0.tar.gz"),</span>
"file:<span class="comment">///tmp" );</span></pre>
<p>If you want to be notified about success/failure, progress, etc., you can connect to Q3UrlOperator's signals, e.g. to <a href="q3urloperator.html#start">start</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#newChildren">newChildren</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#createdDirectory">createdDirectory</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#removed">removed</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#data">data</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#dataTransferProgress">dataTransferProgress</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#startedNextCopy">startedNextCopy</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#connectionStateChanged">connectionStateChanged</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#finished">finished</a>(), etc. A network operation can be stopped with <a href="q3urloperator.html#stop">stop</a>().</p>
<p>The class uses the functionality of registered network protocols to perform these operations. Depending of the protocol of the URL, it uses an appropriate network protocol class for the operations. Each of the operation functions of Q3UrlOperator creates a <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> object that describes the operation and puts it into the operation queue for the network protocol used. If no suitable protocol could be found (because no implementation of the necessary network protocol is registered), the URL operator emits errors. Not every protocol supports every operation, but error handling deals with this problem.</p>
<p>To register the available network protocols, use the qInitNetworkProtocols() function. The protocols currently supported are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="q3ftp.html">FTP</a>,</li>
<li><a href="q3http.html">HTTP</a>,</li>
<li><a href="q3localfs.html">local file system</a>.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="Q3UrlOperator"></a>Q3UrlOperator::Q3UrlOperator ()</h3>
<p>Constructs a <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> with an empty (i.e. invalid) URL.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="Q3UrlOperator-2"></a>Q3UrlOperator::Q3UrlOperator ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>url</i> )</h3>
<p>Constructs a <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> using <i>url</i> and parses this string.</p>
<p>If you pass strings like "/home/qt" the "file" protocol is assumed.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="Q3UrlOperator-3"></a>Q3UrlOperator::Q3UrlOperator ( const Q3UrlOperator & <i>url</i> )</h3>
<p>Constructs a copy of <i>url</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="Q3UrlOperator-4"></a>Q3UrlOperator::Q3UrlOperator ( const Q3UrlOperator & <i>url</i>, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>relUrl</i>, bool <i>checkSlash</i> = false )</h3>
<p>Constructs a <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a>. The URL on which this <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> operates is constructed out of the arguments <i>url</i>, <i>relUrl</i> and <i>checkSlash</i>: see the corresponding <a href="q3url.html">Q3Url</a> constructor for an explanation of these arguments.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="dtor.Q3UrlOperator"></a>Q3UrlOperator::~Q3UrlOperator () <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Destructor.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="clearEntries"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::clearEntries () <tt> [virtual protected]</tt></h3>
<p>Clears the cache of children.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="connectionStateChanged"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::connectionStateChanged ( int <i>state</i>, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>data</i> ) <tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted whenever the URL operator's connection state changes. <i>state</i> describes the new state, which is a <a href="q3networkprotocol.html#ConnectionState-enum">Q3NetworkProtocol::ConnectionState</a> value.</p>
<p><i>data</i> is a string that describes the change of the connection. This can be used to display a message to the user.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="copy"></a><a href="q3ptrlist.html">Q3PtrList</a><<a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a>> Q3UrlOperator::copy ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>from</i>, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>to</i>, bool <i>move</i> = false, bool <i>toPath</i> = true ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Copies the file <i>from</i> to <i>to</i>. If <i>move</i> is true, the file is moved (copied and removed). <i>from</i> must point to a file and <i>to</i> must point to a directory (into which <i>from</i> is copied) unless <i>toPath</i> is set to false. If <i>toPath</i> is set to false then the <i>to</i> variable is assumed to be the absolute file path (destination file path + file name). The copying is done using the <a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>() and <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>() operations. If you want to be notified about the progress of the operation, connect to the <a href="q3urloperator.html#dataTransferProgress">dataTransferProgress</a>() signal. Bear in mind that the <a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>() and <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>() operations emit this signal through the <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a>. The number of transferred bytes and the total bytes that you receive as arguments in this signal do not relate to the the whole copy operation; they relate first to the <a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>() and then to the <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>() operation. Always check what type of operation the signal comes from; this is given in the signal's last argument.</p>
<p>At the end, <a href="q3urloperator.html#finished">finished</a>() (with success or failure) is emitted, so check the state of the network operation object to see whether or not the operation was successful.</p>
<p>Because a move or copy operation consists of multiple operations (<a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>() and maybe <a href="q3urloperator.html#remove">remove</a>()), this function doesn't return a single <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a>, but rather a list of them. They are in the order: <a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>(), <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>() and (if applicable) <a href="q3urloperator.html#remove">remove</a>().</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>() and <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="copy-2"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::copy ( const <a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> & <i>files</i>, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>dest</i>, bool <i>move</i> = false ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.</p>
<p>Copies the <i>files</i> to the directory <i>dest</i>. If <i>move</i> is true the files are moved, not copied. <i>dest</i> must point to a directory.</p>
<p>This function calls <a href="q3urloperator.html#copy">copy</a>() for each entry in <i>files</i> in turn. You don't get a result from this function; each time a new copy begins, <a href="q3urloperator.html#startedNextCopy">startedNextCopy</a>() is emitted, with a list of Q3NetworkOperations that describe the new copy operation.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="createdDirectory"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::createdDirectory ( const <a href="qurlinfo.html">QUrlInfo</a> & <i>i</i>, <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> * <i>op</i> ) <tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted when <a href="q3urloperator.html#mkdir">mkdir</a>() succeeds and the directory has been created. <i>i</i> holds the information about the new directory.</p>
<p><i>op</i> is a pointer to the operation object, which contains all the information about the operation, including the state. <tt>op->arg(0)</tt> holds the new directory's name.</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> and <a href="q3networkprotocol.html">Q3NetworkProtocol</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="data"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::data ( const <a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a> & <i>data</i>, <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> * <i>op</i> ) <tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted when new <i>data</i> has been received after calling <a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>() or <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>(). <i>op</i> is a pointer to the operation object which contains all the information about the operation, including the state. <tt>op->arg(0)</tt> holds the name of the file whose data is retrieved and op->rawArg(1) holds the (raw) data.</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> and <a href="q3networkprotocol.html">Q3NetworkProtocol</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="dataTransferProgress"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::dataTransferProgress ( int <i>bytesDone</i>, int <i>bytesTotal</i>, <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> * <i>op</i> ) <tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted during data transfer (using <a href="q3urloperator.html#put">put</a>() or <a href="q3urloperator.html#get">get</a>()). <i>bytesDone</i> specifies how many bytes of <i>bytesTotal</i> have been transferred. More information about the operation is stored in <i>op</i>, a pointer to the network operation that is processed. <i>bytesTotal</i> may be -1, which means that the total number of bytes is not known.</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> and <a href="q3networkprotocol.html">Q3NetworkProtocol</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="deleteNetworkProtocol"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::deleteNetworkProtocol () <tt> [protected]</tt></h3>
<p>Deletes the currently used network protocol.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="finished"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::finished ( <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> * <i>op</i> ) <tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted when an operation of some sort finishes, whether with success or failure. <i>op</i> is a pointer to the operation object, which contains all the information, including the state, of the operation which has been finished. Check the state and error code of the operation object to see whether or not the operation was successful.</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> and <a href="q3networkprotocol.html">Q3NetworkProtocol</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="get"></a>const <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> * Q3UrlOperator::get ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>location</i> = QString() ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Tells the network protocol to get data from <i>location</i> or, if it is empty, to get data from the location to which this URL points (see <a href="q3url.html#fileName">Q3Url::fileName</a>() and <a href="q3url.html#encodedPathAndQuery">Q3Url::encodedPathAndQuery</a>()). What happens then depends on the network protocol. The <a href="q3urloperator.html#data">data</a>() signal is emitted when data comes in. Because it's unlikely that all data will come in at once, it is common for multiple <a href="q3urloperator.html#data">data</a>() signals to be emitted. The <a href="q3urloperator.html#dataTransferProgress">dataTransferProgress</a>() signal is emitted while processing the operation. At the end, <a href="q3urloperator.html#finished">finished</a>() (with success or failure) is emitted, so check the state of the network operation object to see whether or not the operation was successful.</p>
<p>If <i>location</i> is empty, the path of this <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> should point to a file when you use this operation. If <i>location</i> is not empty, it can be a relative URL (a child of the path to which the <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> points) or an absolute URL.</p>
<p>For example, to get a web page you might do something like this:</p>
<pre> Q3UrlOperator op( "http:<span class="comment">//www.whatever.org/cgi-bin/search.pl?cmd=Hello" );</span>
op.get();</pre>
<p>For most other operations, the path of the <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> must point to a directory. If you want to download a file you could do the following:</p>
<pre> Q3UrlOperator op( "ftp:<span class="comment">//ftp.whatever.org/pub" );</span>
<span class="comment"> // do some other stuff like op.listChildren() or op.mkdir( "new_dir" )</span>
op.get( "a_file.txt" );</pre>
<p>This will get the data of ftp://ftp.whatever.org/pub/a_file.txt.</p>
<p><i>Never</i> do anything like this:</p>
<pre> Q3UrlOperator op( "http:<span class="comment">//www.whatever.org/cgi-bin" );</span>
op.get( "search.pl?cmd=Hello" ); <span class="comment">// WRONG!</span></pre>
<p>If <i>location</i> is not empty and relative it must not contain any queries or references, just the name of a child. So if you need to specify a query or reference, do it as shown in the first example or specify the full URL (such as http://www.whatever.org/cgi-bin/search.pl?cmd=Hello) as <i>location</i>.</p>
<p>See also <a href="q3urloperator.html#copy">copy</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="getNetworkProtocol"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::getNetworkProtocol () <tt> [protected]</tt></h3>
<p>Finds a network protocol for the URL and deletes the old network protocol.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="info"></a><a href="qurlinfo.html">QUrlInfo</a> Q3UrlOperator::info ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>entry</i> ) const <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Returns the URL information for the child <i>entry</i>, or returns an empty <a href="qurlinfo.html">QUrlInfo</a> object if there is no information available about <i>entry</i>. Information about <i>entry</i> is only available after a successfully finished <a href="q3urloperator.html#listChildren">listChildren</a>() operation.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="isDir"></a>bool Q3UrlOperator::isDir ( bool * <i>ok</i> = 0 ) <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Returns true if the URL is a directory; otherwise returns false. This may not always work correctly, if the protocol of the URL is something other than file (local filesystem). If you pass a bool pointer as the <i>ok</i> argument, *<i>ok</i> is set to true if the result of this function is known to be correct, and to false otherwise.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="itemChanged"></a>void Q3UrlOperator::itemChanged ( <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> * <i>op</i> ) <tt> [signal]</tt></h3>
<p>This signal is emitted whenever a file which is a child of the URL has been changed, for example by successfully calling <a href="q3urloperator.html#rename">rename</a>(). <i>op</i> is a pointer to the operation object which contains all the information about the operation, including the state. <tt>op->arg(0)</tt> holds the original file name and <tt>op->arg(1)</tt> holds the new file name (if it was changed).</p>

<p>Starts listing the children of this URL (e.g. the files in the directory). The <a href="q3urloperator.html#start">start</a>() signal is emitted before the first entry is listed and <a href="q3urloperator.html#finished">finished</a>() is emitted after the last one. The <a href="q3urloperator.html#newChildren">newChildren</a>() signal is emitted for each list of new entries. If an error occurs, the signal <a href="q3urloperator.html#finished">finished</a>() is emitted, so be sure to check the state of the network operation pointer.</p>
<p>Because the operation may not be executed immediately, a pointer to the <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> object created by this function is returned. This object contains all the data about the operation and is used to refer to this operation later (e.g. in the signals that are emitted by the <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a>). The return value can also be 0 if the operation object couldn't be created.</p>
<p>The path of this <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> must to point to a directory (because the children of this directory will be listed), not to a file.</p>

<p>Tries to create a directory (child) with the name <i>dirname</i>. If it is successful, a <a href="q3urloperator.html#newChildren">newChildren</a>() signal with the new child is emitted, and the <a href="q3urloperator.html#createdDirectory">createdDirectory</a>() signal with the information about the new child is also emitted. The <a href="q3urloperator.html#finished">finished</a>() signal (with success or failure) is emitted after the operation has been processed, so check the state of the network operation object to see whether or not the operation was successful.</p>
<p>Because the operation will not be executed immediately, a pointer to the <a href="q3networkoperation.html">Q3NetworkOperation</a> object created by this function is returned.

<p>This function tells the network protocol to put <i>data</i> in <i>location</i>. If <i>location</i> is empty, it puts the <i>data</i> in the location to which the URL points. What happens depends on the network protocol. Depending on the network protocol, some data might come back after putting data, in which case the <a href="q3urloperator.html#data">data</a>() signal is emitted. The <a href="q3urloperator.html#dataTransferProgress">dataTransferProgress</a>() signal is emitted during processing of the operation. At the end, <a href="q3urloperator.html#finished">finished</a>() (with success or failure) is emitted, so check the state of the network operation object to see whether or not the operation was successful.</p>
<p>If <i>location</i> is empty, the path of this <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> should point to a file when you use this operation. If <i>location</i> is not empty, it can be a relative (a child of the path to which the <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> points) or an absolute URL.</p>
<p>For putting some data to a file you can do the following:</p>
<pre> Q3UrlOperator op( "ftp:<span class="comment">//ftp.whatever.com/home/me/filename.dat" );</span>
op.put( data );</pre>
<p>For most other operations, the path of the <a href="q3urloperator.html">Q3UrlOperator</a> must point to a directory. If you want to upload data to a file you could do the following:</p>
<pre> Q3UrlOperator op( "ftp:<span class="comment">//ftp.whatever.com/home/me" );</span>
<span class="comment"> // do some other stuff like op.listChildren() or op.mkdir( "new_dir" )</span>
op.put( data, "filename.dat" );</pre>
<p>This will upload the data to ftp://ftp.whatever.com/home/me/filename.dat.</p>
