Another idea, after looking at the API: You could perhaps transport
your QFile* pointer in a user attribute of the request, e.g. something
like (untested):
int CoolFileAttribute = QNetworkRequest::User;
// Sending the request, attaching the QFile* pointer to it.
QFile *f = new QFile(filename);
f->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)
...
req.setAttribute(CoolFileAttribute, QVariant::fromValue(f));
nam.post(req, f);
// And in your slot handling the reply, get the attribute from the
corresponding request.
QFile *f = reply->request().attribute(CoolFileAttribute).value<QFile*>();
f->remove();
f->close();
delete f;
With obviously some improved naming / error handling.
