QHttp is obsolete and depricated. You are required to use QNetworkAccessManager instead.

QNetworkAccessManager* mgr = new QNetworkAccessManager();
....
QNetworkRequest req;
req.setUrl(QUrl("enter url") );
req.setRawHeader( "User-Agent" , "Mozilla Firefox" );

mgr->get(req);

If you still want to use QHttp

QHttpRequestHeader header("GET", QUrl::toPercentEncoding("/raw/2072840"));
header.setValue("User-Agent", "Firefox 4");
http->setHost("qt.nokia.com");
http->request(header);
