Thanks for taking care of this! 

I'd propose a slightly different approach than the per-request all-or-nothing 
attribute mentioned in the wiki though, using the redirection policy on QNAM, 
which prevents redirects to non-TLS connections:

nam->setRedirectPolicy(QNetworkRequest::NoLessSafeRedirectPolicy);

And while we are at it, let's also enable HSTS:

nam->setStrictTransportSecurityEnabled(true); 
nam->enableStrictTransportSecurityStore(true);
