Detailed Description

QWebEngineHttpRequest represents an HTTP request in the WebEngine networking stack. It holds the information necessary to send a request over the network. It contains a URL and some ancillary information that can be used to modify the request. Both load() and load() accept a QWebEngineHttpRequest as a parameter.

class PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest([url=QUrl()[, method=QWebEngineHttpRequest.Get]])

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest(other)

Parameters

• other – PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest

• url – PySide6.QtCore.QUrl

• method – Method

Constructs a QWebEngineHttpRequest object with url as the URL to be requested and method as the method to be used.

url() setUrl()

Creates a copy of other.

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.Method

This enum type describes the method used to send the HTTP request:

Constant	Description
QWebEngineHttpRequest.Get	The GET method.
QWebEngineHttpRequest.Post	The POST method.

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.hasHeader(headerName)

Parameters

headerName – PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Return type

bool

Returns true if the header headerName is present in this WebEngine request.

See also

setHeader() header() unsetHeader() headers()

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.header(headerName)

Parameters

headerName – PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Return type

PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Returns the header specified by headerName. If no such header is present, an empty QByteArray is returned, which may be indistinguishable from a header that is present but has no content (use hasHeader() to find out if the header exists or not).

Headers can be set with setHeader() .

setHeader() hasHeader() unsetHeader() headers()

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.headers()

Return type

Returns a list of all headers that are set in this WebEngine request. The list is in the order that the headers were set.

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.method()

Return type

Method

Returns the method this WebEngine request is using.

setMethod()

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.__ne__(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest

Return type

bool

Returns false if this object is not the same as other.

operator==()

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.__eq__(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest

Return type

bool

Returns true if this object is the same as other (that is, if they have the same method, URL, and headers).

operator!=()

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.postData()

Return type

PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Returns the (raw) POST data this WebEngine request contains.

See also

setPostData()

static PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.postRequest(url, postData)

Parameters

• url – PySide6.QtCore.QUrl

• postData –

Return type

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest

Constructs a QWebEngineHttpRequest to url that uses the POST method.

Note

postData may contain arbitrary strings. They are translated to appropriate raw data.

See also

postData setPostData()

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.setHeader(headerName, value)

Parameters

• headerName – PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

• value – PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Sets the header headerName to be of value headerValue.

Note

Setting the same header twice overrides the previous setting. To accomplish the behavior of multiple HTTP headers of the same name, you should concatenate the two values, separating them with a comma (“,”) and set one single header.

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.setMethod(method)

Parameters

method – Method

Sets the method this WebEngine request is using to be method.

Parameters

postData – PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Sets the (raw) POST data this WebEngine request contains to be postData.

Parameters

url – PySide6.QtCore.QUrl

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest

Swaps this WebEngine request with other. This function is very fast and never fails.

PySide6.QtWebEngineCore.QWebEngineHttpRequest.unsetHeader(headerName)

Parameters

headerName – PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Removes the header specified by key, if present.
