This is my GET / download method :

QNetworkReply* DownloadManager::doDownload(const QUrl &url)

}

The tokens are sent as part of the request header, so for that case we use the setRawHeader() method:

void QNetworkRequest::setRawHeader(const QByteArray &headerName, const QByteArray &headerValue)

Sets the header headerName to be of value headerValue. If headerName corresponds to a known header (see QNetworkRequest::KnownHeaders), the raw format will be parsed and the corresponding "cooked" header will be set as well.

In the case of the token we use the following:

request.setRawHeader(QByteArray("Authorization"), QByteArray("Token your_token"));
