HTTP/1.1 request with 401 response - postman error

Question

Problem Description: I am trying to get an authorization on a device with a simple Digest Auth using Postman. The sequence is working fine with a web browser, but Postman returns: Error aborted

I have tried multiple settings to mimic the working request. I have compared both on wireshark and they seems pratically identical.

It looks like the GET request is aborting before its completion. Postman error

Here is the wireshark snippet

To debug the problem, I made a test app in Qt5 ( 5.12.5 ) and I get the same problem. The return status is 0 and no other information on the reply header is available.

There is something suspicious when doing the same kind of request with cURL ( in WSL2 )

cURL example

Finally, I was able to get a proper request with Python3. I got the "Error 401 unauthorized" that I was expecting.

import requests

url = 'http://192.168.0.150'
response = requests.get(url)

# Accessing low-level information
status_code = response.status_code
headers = response.headers
content = response.content
text = response.text

# Printing low-level information
print(f"Status Code: {status_code}")
print("Headers:")
for header, value in headers.items():
    print(f"  {header}: {value}")

print("\nContent:")
print(content)

print("\nText:")
print(text)

The problem here, is that I need it to work in Qt because I am developping a plugin and it needs to be in C++.

Anything I am missing ?
