RESTful interface for C++/Qt ?

Question

I want to integrate the RESTful-API in my Qt-Project.
I already read the example on this page, but this is only for receiving data from a RESTful-interface, not for sending new data to the server. In Java, I can use RESTlet for example, is there any possibility to use something like that for Qt, too?
Or is there even a simple way to send data from Qt to RESTful, for example when I create a XML before?

Since REST is just normal URL access, there's no reason you can't use the Qt HttpClient interfaces to talk to you backend Java REST interface. You just have to make a determination to use XML or JSON - both have very capable libraries available, and both are just text interfaces.

Odd you ask, I'm in the middle of doing this very thing myself today - I'm implementing a JSON based REST interface in Java, and I'll wire up the plumbing to my Qt app shortly.

I'll make an effort to update this answer as I progress.
