QtWebEngine

Finally, I skipped the restrictions mofidying the file qtwebengine/tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf: Before: skipBuild("Qt WebEngine can currently only be built for Linux (GCC), Windows (MSVC 2013), OS X (XCode 5.1+) or Qt for Device Creation.") return(false) After: #skipBuild("Qt WebEngine can currently only be built for Linux (GCC), Windows (MSVC 2013), OS X (XCode 5.1+) or Qt for Device Creation.") return(true)

When i play a video on youtube ( 3 minute), ram increase to 1.2Gb.

Well, for posterity, I'll answer my own questions as best I can: Proxy server any port can be set in the OS environment ("http_proxy") and the widget seems to respect this setting. override QtWebEnginePage.certificateError, which should return true if we're ignoring the error. Unfortunately the widget doesn't actually call this function for a lot of certificate errors, so it's not working right now. File downloads aren't supported, maybe in 5.5 tl;dr - QtWebEngine is very young, wait for future versions for it to be usable.

[quote author="JKSH" date="1424486520"]Hi, Qt WebEngine is not available on mobile platforms. Use "Qt WebView":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebview-index.html instead[/quote] Thanks a lot, it works!

Glad that it worked :) Please mark it as solved by editing the post title and prepend [solved].

thanks. now is working

Yes I was using a busy loop calling QApplication::processEvents(); once in a while To summarize: Yes you can run QtWebEngine headless/in console but it requires QApplication and won't work with QCoreApplicaion Much alike WebKit it requires quite frequently access to main event loop i.e. do not block it for extensive periods of time I'm not sure if toHtml() shows original/loaded Html or 'generated' Html (after some time javascript usually alters original Html) and which Blink engine version is used (it could be rather old) but it doesn't render google's results properly. I need to investigate... any pointers, documentation...

i guess this the new design like all modern web-browsers have, when each tab is running a separate process. This is done for security and stability reasons.

the QtWebEngine module is very limited - from a programmers point of view - yet. You can find the whole C++ API "here":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebenginewidgets-module.html

Hi, You should rather ask this on the "qtwebengine":http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qtwebengine mailing list. You'll find there the modules developers/maintainers (this forum is more user oriented)

Hi, Subscribe to the "Interest mailing list":http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest and ask there. The Qt engineers can answer your question.

Hi, Looking at the source "here":https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtwebengine/source/ca30d0374020752d3ac367fdffef88a5c1fe4a48:src/webengine/api/qquickwebengineview.cpp#L599, it seems that it is still an experimental feature which means it will not be available currently in WebEngineView. To try out those features you can try importing experimental module @ import QtWebEngine.experimental 1.0 @ but note that these are still under development and the behavior may be erratic. To follow this development you can ask the question on "Interest Mailing List":http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest, you might get an answer directly from the Qt developers. You will need to subscribe to the list first.

Well, that does indeed look like roughly what I had in mind, though it seems to be in a very immature state. Still, I won't work on it myself, since I don't have much interest in web technology. Furthermore, I don't think this will ever yield satisfactory performance.

Anyone ever solve this issue? I wound up using QML to take advantage of the onNavigationRequested event to hijack (and cancel) the navigation, which solves this immediate problem. However, this solution is not working for me as a whole since I cannot figure out how to run javascript in the WebEngineView when it is created in QML, which is my second requirement. :(
