Greetings,
On Webkit GTK 2.2.6.
I am connecting all the appropriate signals and I am able to download
files as desired. In general functionality works as expected.
Key problem I am facing, is download is happening because of
programmatic click on the link using extension code. Extension has no
idea what happened to download or even a download was triggered as
deciding file name other related actions are handled on UI side of webkit.
Is there something that will let extension also know about download actions.
General problem is writing tools using webkit API. We execute lot of DOM
manipulation calls which happen in extension. However some actions
happen on UI side (e.g. deciding save path for download) and some on
WebProcess (click that resulted in download) - in the extension. I do
understand the reasoning behind process separation, and know why some
calls are that way - its logical like view can show save as dialog etc..
But from tools perspective when there is no user involved, it becomes
cumbersome to manage both processes and make remote communications.
Since the network calls are mostly handled in Webprocess, is there some
possibility of hooking on webprocess so that extensions get some of the
signals or at least notifications.
Regards,
Niranjan
