Hello all. I'm trying to port my own web browser, which at the moment uses Chromium, to webkit2gtk. But I miss a functionality: the possibility to be notified of resource loading, and *optionally cancel* the loading.
I connect to the "resource-load-started" signal, so I am notified of what is going on. But I don't find a way to cancel the request. A request could be canceled in order to implement content blocking. Yes, I know that there is a whole API just for that (filter), WebKitUserContentFilterStore, but that API does not let me to do the following: 1) Open a window which monitors and records, in real time, a page loading, with all the requests the page does (blocked and not-blocked ones). 2) Inspect the recorded requests, and add a filter to a non-blocked one or delete (or temporarily disable) the filter that canceled that resource. I am using the above method in my browser, and I find it very useful because I can precisely know everything about a filter rule. I noticed that there is a very similar signal also in webkit, but to use it one has to use an extension which, it seems to me, has to be an external library. Even if I could try to write and compile a similar library, then the dialog between the library and the main application would be quite complicated, I think. Is there a simpler / more direct way? TY in advance. _______________________________________________ webkit-gtk mailing list webkit-gtk@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-gtk
