Detailed Description

The QWebEngineUrlRequestJob class represents a custom URL request.

A QWebEngineUrlRequestJob is given to QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler::requestStarted() and must be handled by the derived implementations of the class. The job can be handled by calling either reply(), redirect(), or fail().

The class is owned by the web engine and does not need to be deleted. However, the web engine may delete the job when it is no longer needed, and therefore the signal QObject::destroyed() must be monitored if a pointer to the object is stored.

Member Type Documentation

enum QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::Error

ConstantValueDescription
QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::NoError0The request was successful.
QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::UrlNotFound1The requested URL was not found.
QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::UrlInvalid2The requested URL is invalid.

Member Function Documentation

void QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::fail(Error r)

Fails the request with the error r.

See also Error.

void QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::redirect(const QUrl &url)

Redirects the request to url.

void QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::reply(const QByteArray &contentType, QIODevice *device)

Replies to the request with device and the MIME type contentType.

The device should remain available at least as long as the job exists. When calling this method with a newly constructed device, one solution is to make the device delete itself when closed, like this:

connect(device, &QIODevice::aboutToClose, device, &QObject::deleteLater);

QByteArray QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::requestMethod() const

Returns the HTTP method of the request (for example, GET or POST).

QUrl QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::requestUrl() const

Returns the requested URL.
