\class QNetworkSession
\brief The QNetworkSession class provides control over the system's access points
and enables session management for cases when multiple clients access the same access point.
\since 4.7
\inmodule QtNetwork
\ingroup bearer
A QNetworkSession enables control over the system's network interfaces. The session's configuration
parameter are determined via the QNetworkConfiguration object to which it is bound. Depending on the
type of the session (single access point or service network) a session may be linked to one or more
network interfaces. By means of \l{open()}{opening} and \l{close()}{closing} of network sessions
a developer can start and stop the systems network interfaces. If the configuration represents
multiple access points (see \l QNetworkConfiguration::ServiceNetwork) more advanced features such as roaming may be supported.
QNetworkSession supports session management within the same process and depending on the platform's
capabilities may support out-of-process sessions. If the same
network configuration is used by multiple open sessions the underlying network interface is only terminated once
the last session has been closed.
\section1 Roaming
Applications may connect to the preferredConfigurationChanged() signal in order to
receive notifications when a more suitable access point becomes available.
In response to this signal the application must either initiate the roaming via migrate()
or ignore() the new access point. Once the session has roamed the
newConfigurationActivated() signal is emitted. The application may now test the
carrier and must either accept() or reject() it. The session will return to the previous
access point if the roaming was rejected. The subsequent state diagram depicts the required
state transitions.
\image roaming-states.png
Some platforms may distinguish forced roaming and application level roaming (ALR).
ALR implies that the application controls (via migrate(), ignore(), accept() and reject())
whether a network session can roam from one access point to the next. Such control is useful
if the application maintains stateful socket connections and wants to control the transition from
one interface to the next. Forced roaming implies that the system automatically roams to the next network without
consulting the application. This has the advantage that the application can make use of roaming features
without actually being aware of it. It is expected that the application detects that the underlying
socket is broken and automatically reconnects via the new network link.
If the platform supports both modes of roaming, an application indicates its preference
by connecting to the preferredConfigurationChanged() signal. Connecting to this signal means that
the application wants to take control over the roaming behavior and therefore implies application
level roaming. If the client does not connect to the preferredConfigurationChanged(), forced roaming
is used. If forced roaming is not supported the network session will not roam by default.
Some applications may want to suppress any form of roaming altogether. Possible use cases may be
high priority downloads or remote services which cannot handle a roaming enabled client. Clients
can suppress roaming by connecting to the preferredConfigurationChanged() signal and answer each
signal emission with ignore().

/*!
\enum QNetworkSession::State
This enum describes the connectivity state of the session. If the session is based on a
single access point configuration the state of the session is the same as the state of the
associated network interface.
\value Invalid The session is invalid due to an invalid configuration. This may
happen due to a removed access point or a configuration that was
invalid to begin with.
\value NotAvailable The session is based on a defined but not yet discovered QNetworkConfiguration
(see \l QNetworkConfiguration::StateFlag).
\value Connecting The network session is being established.
\value Connected The network session is connected. If the current process wishes to use this session
it has to register its interest by calling open(). A network session
is considered to be ready for socket operations if it isOpen() and connected.
\value Closing The network session is in the process of being shut down.
\value Disconnected The network session is not connected. The associated QNetworkConfiguration
has the state QNetworkConfiguration::Discovered.
\value Roaming The network session is roaming from one access point to another
access point.

\enum QNetworkSession::SessionError
This enum describes the session errors that can occur.
\value UnknownSessionError An unidentified error occurred.
\value SessionAbortedError The session was aborted by the user or system.

\value OperationNotSupportedError The operation is not supported for current configuration.

/*!
\fn void QNetworkSession::preferredConfigurationChanged(const QNetworkConfiguration& config, bool isSeamless)
This signal is emitted when the preferred configuration/access point for the
session changes. Only sessions which are based on service network configurations
may emit this signal. \a config can be used to determine access point specific
details such as proxy settings and \a isSeamless indicates whether roaming will
break the sessions IP address.
As a consequence to this signal the application must either start the roaming process
by calling migrate() or choose to ignore() the new access point.
If the roaming process is non-seamless the IP address will change which means that
a socket becomes invalid. However seamless mobility can ensure that the local IP address
does not change. This is achieved by using a virtual IP address which is bound to the actual
link address. During the roaming process the virtual address is attached to the new link
address.
Some platforms may support the concept of Forced Roaming and Application Level Roaming (ALR).
Forced roaming implies that the platform may simply roam to a new configuration without
consulting applications. It is up to the application to detect the link layer loss and reestablish
its sockets. In contrast ALR provides the opportunity to prevent the system from roaming.
If this session is based on a configuration that supports roaming the application can choose
whether it wants to be consulted (ALR use case) by connecting to this signal. For as long as this signal
connection remains the session remains registered as a roaming stakeholder; otherwise roaming will
be enforced by the platform.

QNetworkConfiguration that is used by this session; otherwise an empty string.
The main purpose of this key is to determine which Internet access point is used
if the session is based on a \l{QNetworkConfiguration::ServiceNetwork}{ServiceNetwork}.
The following code snippet highlights the difference:
\code
QNetworkConfigurationManager mgr;
QNetworkConfiguration ap = mgr.defaultConfiguration();
QNetworkSession* session = new QNetworkSession(ap);
... //code activates session
QString ident = session->sessionProperty("ActiveConfiguration").toString();
if ( ap.type() == QNetworkConfiguration::ServiceNetwork ) {
Q_ASSERT( ap.identifier() != ident );
Q_ASSERT( ap.children().contains( mgr.configurationFromIdentifier(ident) ) );
} else if ( ap.type() == QNetworkConfiguration::InternetAccessPoint ) {
Q_ASSERT( ap.identifier() == ident );
}
\endcode
\row
\o UserChoiceConfiguration
\o If the session \l isOpen() and is bound to a QNetworkConfiguration of type
UserChoice, this property returns the identifier of the QNetworkConfiguration that the
configuration resolved to when \l open() was called; otherwise an empty string.
The purpose of this key is to determine the real QNetworkConfiguration that the
session is using. This key is different to \i ActiveConfiguration in that
this key may return an identifier for either a
\l {QNetworkConfiguration::ServiceNetwork}{service network} or a
\l {QNetworkConfiguration::InternetAccessPoint}{Internet access points} configurations
whereas \i ActiveConfiguration always returns identifiers to
\l {QNetworkConfiguration::InternetAccessPoint}{Internet access points} configurations.
\row
\o ConnectInBackground
\o Setting this property to \i true before calling \l open() implies that the connection attempt
is made but if no connection can be established, the user is not connsulted and asked to select
a suitable connection. This property is not set by default and support for it depends on the platform.
