[webkit-qt] Does WebKit have http connecting module?

[Yanke (Yon) Hu]

Sorry, Markus, I just directly reply your answer and forget about the
mailing thread, here is my asking:

>From my understanding about the Qt source code, It looks
like QNetworkAccessManager handles QNetworkRequest/QNetworkReply specified
by developers. and QNetworkAccessManager will comunicate with QApplication
maybe through singal-slot mechanism, and thus the state of QApplication will
change. And this will initialize System level http call ?   I see there are
system level http call implemented in
src/network/socket/qnativesocktengine_win.cpp
and src/network/socket/qnativesocktengine_unix.cpp,  but just don't know how
does QApplication connect to the APIs in src/network.

Thanks for any help!!
