QWebEngineProfile::QWebEngineProfile(const QString &storageName, QObject *parent = Q_NULLPTR)

Constructs a new profile with the storage name storageName and parent parent.

The storage name must be unique.

A disk-based QWebEngineProfile should be destroyed on or before application exit, otherwise the cache and persistent data may not be fully flushed to disk.

See also storageName().

QWebEngineProfile::QWebEngineProfile(QObject *parent = Q_NULLPTR)

Constructs a new off-the-record profile with the parent parent.

An off-the-record profile leaves no record on the local machine, and has no persistent data or cache. Thus, the HTTP cache can only be in memory and the cookies can only be non-persistent. Trying to change these settings will have no effect.

See also isOffTheRecord().

[signal] void QWebEngineProfile::downloadRequested(QWebEngineDownloadItem *download)

This signal is emitted whenever a download has been triggered. The download argument holds the state of the download. The download has to be explicitly accepted with QWebEngineDownloadItem::accept() or it will be cancelled by default. The download item is parented by the profile. If it is not accepted, it will be deleted immediately after the signal emission. This signal cannot be used with a queued connection.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

See also QWebEngineDownloadItem and QWebEnginePage::download().

QString QWebEngineProfile::cachePath() const

Returns the path used for caches.

By default, this is below StandardPaths::CacheLocation in a QtWebengine/StorageName specific subdirectory.

Note: Use QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::CacheLocation) to obtain the QStandardPaths::CacheLocation path.

See also setCachePath(), storageName(), and QStandardPaths::writableLocation().

void QWebEngineProfile::clearAllVisitedLinks()

Clears all links from the visited links database.

See also clearVisitedLinks().

void QWebEngineProfile::clearHttpCache()

Removes the profile's cache entries.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.7.

Clears the links in urls from the visited links database.

See also clearAllVisitedLinks().

If the profile is off-the-record, MemoryHttpCache is returned.

See also setHttpCacheType() and cachePath().

QString QWebEngineProfile::httpUserAgent() const

Returns the user-agent string sent with HTTP to identify the browser.

Note: On Windows 8.1 and newer, the default user agent will always report "Windows NT 6.2" (Windows 8), unless the application does contain a manifest that declares newer Windows versions as supported.

See also setHttpUserAgent().

void QWebEngineProfile::installUrlSchemeHandler(const QByteArray &scheme, QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler *handler)

Registers a handler handler for custom URL scheme scheme in the profile.

It is necessary to first register the scheme with QWebEngineUrlScheme::registerScheme at application startup.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

bool QWebEngineProfile::isOffTheRecord() const

Returns true if this is an off-the-record profile that leaves no record on the computer.

This will force cookies and HTTP cache to be in memory, but also force all other normally persistent data to be stored in memory.

bool QWebEngineProfile::isSpellCheckEnabled() const

Returns true if the spell checker is enabled; otherwise returns false.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.8.

See also setSpellCheckEnabled().

If the profile is off-the-record, NoPersistentCookies is returned.

See also setPersistentCookiesPolicy().

QString QWebEngineProfile::persistentStoragePath() const

Returns the path used to store persistent data for the browser and web content.

Persistent data includes persistent cookies, HTML5 local storage, and visited links.

By default, this is below QStandardPaths::DataLocation in a QtWebengine/StorageName specific subdirectory.

Note: Use QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation) to obtain the QStandardPaths::DataLocation path.

See also setPersistentStoragePath(), storageName(), and QStandardPaths::writableLocation().

Removes the custom URL scheme handler handler from the profile.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

See also removeUrlScheme().

Setting it to 0 means the size will be controlled automatically by QtWebEngine.

See also httpCacheMaximumSize() and setHttpCacheType().

void QWebEngineProfile::setHttpCacheType(QWebEngineProfile::HttpCacheType httpCacheType)

Sets the HTTP cache type to httpCacheType.

void QWebEngineProfile::setSpellCheckEnabled(bool enable)

Enables spell checker if enable is true, otherwise disables it.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.8.

See also isSpellCheckEnabled().

void QWebEngineProfile::setSpellCheckLanguages(const QStringList &languages)

Sets the current list of languages for the spell checker. Each language should match the name of the .bdic dictionary. For example, the language en-US will load the en-US.bdic dictionary file.

See the Spellchecker feature documentation for how dictionary files are searched.

For more information about how to compile .bdic dictionaries, see the Spellchecker Example.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.8.

See also spellCheckLanguages().

void QWebEngineProfile::setUrlRequestInterceptor(QWebEngineUrlRequestInterceptor *interceptor)

Registers a request interceptor singleton interceptor to intercept URL requests.

The profile does not take ownership of the pointer.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.13.

See also QWebEngineUrlRequestInfo and QWebEngineUrlRequestInterceptor.

void QWebEngineProfile::setUseForGlobalCertificateVerification(bool enabled = true)

Sets if this profile is to be used for downloading and caching when needed during certificate verification, for instance for OCSP, CRLs, and AIA.

Only one QWebEngineProfile can do this at a time, and it is recommended that the profile fullfilling this role has a disk HTTP cache to avoid needlessly re-downloading. If you set the option on a second profile, it will be disabled on the profile it is currently set.

Currently only affects Linux/NSS installations where it enables OCSP.

As long as one profile has enabled set to true, all other profiles will be able to use it for their certificate verification.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.13.

See also isUsedForGlobalCertificateVerification() and httpCacheType().

The storage name is used to give each profile that uses the disk separate subdirectories for persistent data and cache.

const QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler *QWebEngineProfile::urlSchemeHandler(const QByteArray &scheme) const

Returns the custom URL scheme handler register for the URL scheme scheme.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

bool QWebEngineProfile::visitedLinksContainsUrl(const QUrl &url) const

Returns true if url is considered a visited link by this profile.
