Detailed Description

Provides information about I/O (Internet, etc.) settings chosen/set by the end user.

KProtocolManager has a heap of static functions that allows only read access to KDE's IO related settings. These include proxy, cache, file transfer resumption, timeout and user-agent related settings.

The information provided by this class is generic enough to be applicable to any application that makes use of KDE's IO sub-system. Note that this mean the proxy, timeout etc. settings are saved in a separate user-specific config file and not in the config file of the application.

Member Function Documentation

◆ autoResume()

bool KProtocolManager::autoResume ( )

static

Returns true if partial downloads should be automatically resumed.

Returns: true to resume partial downloads

Definition at line 646 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

◆ canCopyFromFile()

bool KProtocolManager::canCopyFromFile ( const QUrl & url )

static

Returns whether the protocol can copy files/objects directly from the filesystem itself.

If not, the application will read files from the filesystem using the file-protocol and pass the data on to the destination protocol.

This corresponds to the "copyFromFile=" field in the protocol description file. Valid values for this field are "true" or "false" (default).

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: true if the protocol can copy files from the local file system

Definition at line 799 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

◆ canCopyToFile()

bool KProtocolManager::canCopyToFile ( const QUrl & url )

static

Returns whether the protocol can copy files/objects directly to the filesystem itself.

If not, the application will receive the data from the source protocol and store it in the filesystem using the file-protocol.

This corresponds to the "copyToFile=" field in the protocol description file. Valid values for this field are "true" or "false" (default).

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: true if the protocol can copy files to the local file system

Definition at line 809 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

◆ canDeleteRecursive()

bool KProtocolManager::canDeleteRecursive ( const QUrl & url )

static

Returns whether the protocol can recursively delete directories by itself.

If not (the usual case) then KIO will list the directory and delete files and empty directories one by one.

This corresponds to the "deleteRecursive=" field in the protocol description file. Valid values for this field are "true" or "false" (default).

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: true if the protocol can delete non-empty directories by itself.

Definition at line 839 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

◆ canRenameFromFile()

bool KProtocolManager::canRenameFromFile ( const QUrl & url )

static

Returns whether the protocol can rename (i.e.

move fast) files/objects directly from the filesystem itself. If not, the application will read files from the filesystem using the file-protocol and pass the data on to the destination protocol.

This corresponds to the "renameFromFile=" field in the protocol description file. Valid values for this field are "true" or "false" (default).

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: true if the protocol can rename/move files from the local file system

Definition at line 819 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

◆ canRenameToFile()

bool KProtocolManager::canRenameToFile ( const QUrl & url )

static

Returns whether the protocol can rename (i.e.

move fast) files/objects directly to the filesystem itself. If not, the application will receive the data from the source protocol and store it in the filesystem using the file-protocol.

This corresponds to the "renameToFile=" field in the protocol description file. Valid values for this field are "true" or "false" (default).

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: true if the protocol can rename files to the local file system

Definition at line 829 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

static

Returns default MIME type for this URL based on the protocol.

This corresponds to the "defaultMimetype=" field in the protocol description file.

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: the default MIME type of the protocol, or an empty string if unknown

Definition at line 859 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

◆ fileNameUsedForCopying()

KProtocolInfo::FileNameUsedForCopying KProtocolManager::fileNameUsedForCopying ( const QUrl & url )

static

This setting defines the strategy to use for generating a filename, when copying a file or directory to another directory.

By default the destination filename is made out of the filename in the source URL. However if the KIO worker displays names that are different from the filename of the URL (e.g. kio_fonts shows Arial for arial.ttf, or kio_trash shows foo.txt and uses some internal URL), using Name means that the display name (UDS_NAME) will be used to as the filename in the destination directory.

This corresponds to the "fileNameUsedForCopying=" field in the protocol description file. Valid values for this field are "Name" or "FromURL" (default).

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: how to generate the filename in the destination directory when copying/moving

Definition at line 849 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

This corresponds to the "input=" field in the protocol description file. Valid values for this field are "filesystem", "stream" or "none" (default).

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: the input type of the given url

Definition at line 669 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.

◆ isSourceProtocol()

bool KProtocolManager::isSourceProtocol ( const QUrl & url )

static

Returns whether the protocol can act as a source protocol.

A source protocol retrieves data from or stores data to the location specified by a URL. A source protocol is the opposite of a filter protocol.

The "source=" field in the protocol description file determines whether a protocol is a source protocol or a filter protocol.

Parameters

url	the url to check

Returns: true if the protocol is a source of data (e.g. http), false if the protocol is a filter (e.g. gzip)

Definition at line 689 of file kprotocolmanager.cpp.
