QTcpSocket state always connected, even unplugging ethernet wire

Question

I have a QTcpSocket and I am reading into a loop. Each time a full packet has been read, or there has been an error, I manually check the status of the socket inside the loo

Answer 1

try my template of client in Qt:

class Client: public QTcpSocket {
   Q_OBJECT
public:
    Client(const QHostAddress&, int port, QObject* parent= 0);
    ~Client();
    void Client::sendMessage(const QString& );
private slots:
    void readyRead();
    void connected();
public slots:
    void doConnect();
};

on cpp:

void Client::readyRead() {

    // if you need to read the answer of server..
    while (this->canReadLine()) {
    }
}

void Client::doConnect() {
    this->connectToHost(ip_, port_);
    qDebug() << " INFO : " << QDateTime::currentDateTime()
            << " : CONNESSIONE...";
}

void Client::connected() {
    qDebug() << " INFO : " << QDateTime::currentDateTime() << " : CONNESSO a "
            << ip_ << " e PORTA " << port_;
    //do stuff if you need
}


void Client::sendMessage(const QString& message) {
    this->write(message.toUtf8());
    this->write("\n"); //every message ends with a new line
}

i omitted some code as constructor and slots connections.. try with this and if it doesn t work maybe there is something wrong on server side..
