Android : How to connect to a server from Qt C++ and QML

I have a Qt app that works in Desktop and android. When I was developing the app I refereed to some photos by their absolute path on my computer in both C++ and QMl, everything worked just fine.

Now I'm deploying on android, I setup IIS on my computer and I put all the files I want the application to get from my computer on the same folder where IIS starts (the "wwwroot").

A friend of mine gave me some php files to put them in the same directory where IIs starts to allow the connection. I changed the paths to the files on my C++ and Qml codes to connect to the new path through the server. here is an example for the paths before and after:

in C++

before

QString path("E:/project/Server/Labs/");

after

QString path("http://192.168.173.1/Server/Labs/");

in Qml

before

source: 'file:///E:/project/Server/Labs/image.jpg'

after

source: 'http://192.168.173.1/Server/Labs/image.jpg'

Now I'm able to get the files in qml successfully, but not the files in the C++ part. I can't connect to the folders and files in the server through C++.

So is there something I should do in the C++ part?

-Note: On Desktop when I leave the paths in qml to

source: 'http://192.168.173.1/Server/Labs/image.jpg' they don't work and I get these errors

QSslSocket: cannot resolve TLSv1_1_client_method
QSslSocket: cannot resolve TLSv1_2_client_method
QSslSocket: cannot resolve TLSv1_1_server_method
QSslSocket: cannot resolve TLSv1_2_server_method

So I have to change the paths back to source: 'file:///E:/project/Server/Labs/image.jpg' in order to work on desktop.

Thank you.
