Hi,
I would like to send a custom useragent for any http access done from a
certain python script.
So I assumed the way to go would be monkeypatching userAgentForUrl
I'm not sure, whether this is impossible to achieve or whether I made a
mistake in patching.
This is my approach in my code before the creation of any QWebview.
from PyQt4.QtWebKit import QWebPage
import PyQt4.QtGui
def patch_agent():
old_userAgentForUrl = QWebPage.userAgentForUrl
def new_userAgentForUrl(self, url):
""" for demo purposes I just added logging """
rslt = old_userAgentForUrl(self, url)
print "agent is %s" % rslt
return rslt
QWebPage.userAgentForUrl = new_userAgentForUrl
patch_agent()
print "PATCHED"
app = PyQt4.QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
webview = QWebView()
webview.setHtml("""<a href="http://www.google.com";>Search</a>""")
webview.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Somehow it seems, that the my patched method is never called.
What could be the reason?
thanks in advance for any explanations or suggestions how to change the
user agent 'globally'
