            Bug ID: 452122
           Summary: Missing download support based on QtNetwork
           Product: libalkimia
           Version: 8.1.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: General
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ralf.habacker at freenet.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

The alkimia library currently uses the KIO framework for downloading native
online content from remote sites. The disadvantage of this support is higher
complexity in the installed application, as additional background programs are
required for this (klauncher.exe, kioslave.exe). This increases the
susceptibility to errors and the required maintenance effort. As a simpler
alternative, the network support of the QtNetwork library can be used for these
purposes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. download an alkimia package from https://binary-factory.kde.org or
https://kmymoney.org/snapshots.php  
2. start onlinequoteseditor and fetch online quotes 
3. inspect the running background processes

OBSERVED RESULT
There are additional processes like klauncher.exe and one or more kioslave.exe

EXPECTED RESULT
When using QtNetwork's http(s) download support, these processes are not
required 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.x 
Qt Version: 5.x
