Qt4 Synchronous HTTP Request

Problem

Creating a wrapper over QHttp that can perform GET and POST requests in a synchronous way.

Solution

In Qt4 QHttp can perform HTTP requests, but the API only allows asynchronous requests. This means that you need to specify a set of slots to handle the signals that can be emitted while the request if performed. Now don’t get me wrong, this is event driven programming and most of the times is the right way to go especially when writing a Qt based application. The cases when event driven operations prove difficult to use are rare and usually can be programmed using events.
