      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Turn off Wi-Fi.
      2. Start the attached app.
      3. `QNetworkReply::UnknownNetworkError` errors start flowing in.
      4. Turn Wi-Fi back on.
      5. All subsequent requests still fail with `QNetworkReply::UnknownNetworkError`, network connectivity is never regained.

      This problem occurs for `QNetworkAccessManager` instances created during network unavailability. It does not occur on Linux.

      It's very similar to QTBUG-49760, the only difference is that we disable the network prior to starting the app (compared to doing so while it's running).

      Workarounds we found:

      • using deprecated `nam.setNetworkAccessible(QNetworkAccessManager::Accessible)` yields `QNetworkReply::HostNotFoundError` errors instead and successes to complete requests once network is regained,
      • don't cache `QNetworkAccessManager` instance.

        No reviews matched the request. Check your Options in the drop-down menu of this sections header.
