Quick way to fetch URL html contents with Qt?

Question

I'm not interested in the QNetWork class and all it's callbacks, I want a static function or something where I can just:

QString html = QHttpHelperThingy::fetch("http://blah.com");

Does such a thing exist?

I believe that this is the replacement path: http://doc.qt.io/archives/4.6/qnetworkaccessmanager.html, but QHttp will work throughout 4.x series.

Yes, with QNetworkAccessManager you can do it in 3 or 4 lines and one slot for the finished() signal. Do not use QHttp.

QHttp exists and approximately works as you expect it to, but it's been declared obsolete. I have not found any replacement for it so far.

+1, I don't find any replacement either, and QnetworkAccessManager does not provide the same level of control
