Class
WPEWebKitWebContext
Description [src]
final class WPEWebKit.WebContext : GObject.Object {
/* No available fields */
}Manages aspects common to all WebKitWebViews
The WebKitWebContext manages all aspects common to all
WebKitWebViews.
You can define the WebKitCacheModel with
webkit_web_context_set_cache_model(), depending on the needs of
your application. You can access the WebKitSecurityManager to specify
the behaviour of your application regarding security using webkit_web_context_get_security_manager().
It is also possible to change your preferred language or enable
spell checking, using webkit_web_context_set_preferred_languages(),
webkit_web_context_set_spell_checking_languages() and webkit_web_context_set_spell_checking_enabled().
You can use webkit_web_context_register_uri_scheme() to register
custom URI schemes, and manage several other settings.
TLS certificate validation failure is now treated as a transport
error by default. To handle TLS failures differently, you can
connect to WebKitWebView::load-failed-with-tls-errors.
Alternatively, you can use webkit_web_context_set_tls_errors_policy()
to set the policy WEBKIT_TLS_ERRORS_POLICY_IGNORE; however, this is
not appropriate for Internet applications.

Properties
WPEWebKit.WebContext:memory-pressure-settings
The WebKitMemoryPressureSettings applied to the web processes created by this context.
Available since: 2.34
WPEWebKit.WebContext:time-zone-override
The timezone override for this web context. Setting this property provides a better alternative to configure the timezone information for all webviews managed by the WebContext. The other, less optimal, approach is to globally set the TZ environment variable in the process before creating the context. However this approach might not be very convenient and can have side-effects in your application.
Available since: 2.38
Signals
WPEWebKit.WebContext::automation-started
This signal is emitted when a new automation request is made.
Note that it will never be emitted if automation is not enabled in context,
see webkit_web_context_set_automation_allowed() for more details.
Available since: 2.18
WPEWebKit.WebContext::initialize-notification-permissions
This signal is emitted when a WebKitWebContext needs to set
initial notification permissions for a web process. It is emitted
when a new web process is about to be launched, and signals the
most appropriate moment to use
webkit_web_context_initialize_notification_permissions(). If no
notification permissions have changed since the last time this
signal was emitted, then there is no need to call
webkit_web_context_initialize_notification_permissions() again.
Available since: 2.16
WPEWebKit.WebContext::initialize-web-process-extensions
This signal is emitted when a new web process is about to be
launched. It signals the most appropriate moment to use
webkit_web_context_set_web_process_extensions_initialization_user_data()
and webkit_web_context_set_web_process_extensions_directory().
Available since: 2.4
WPEWebKit.WebContext::user-message-received
This signal is emitted when a WebKitUserMessage is received from a
web process extension. You can reply to the message using webkit_user_message_send_reply().
Available since: 2.28
Signals inherited from GObject (1)
GObject.Object::notify
The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.
