WebKit2.AuthenticationRequest (original) (raw)

Class

WebKit2AuthenticationRequest

Description [src]

class WebKit2.AuthenticationRequest : GObject.Object
{
  priv: WebKitAuthenticationRequestPrivate*
}

Represents an authentication request.

Whenever a client attempts to load a page protected by HTTPauthentication, credentials will need to be provided to authorize access. To allow the client to decide how it wishes to handle authentication, WebKit will fire a WebKitWebView::authenticate signal with a WebKitAuthenticationRequest object to provide client side authentication support. Credentials are exposed through theWebKitCredential object.

In case the client application does not wish to handle this signal WebKit will provide a default handler. To handle authentication asynchronously, simply increase the reference count of the WebKitAuthenticationRequest object.
