add header to WebView requests

[i.n.g.o.]

Hi.

i need to set a header to each WebView request.

i was searching the forum, but did not find a solution for this.

setting a QQmlNetworkAccessManagerFactory does not work, the QQmlNetworkAccessManagerFactory::create function is never called. seems like WebView does not use QNetworkAccessManager?

is this possible at all?

thanks for any hints.

on what platform are you on?
Anyway your changes are low from within QML.

i need it to run on android and ios.

but also on desktop macos it is the same.
i am trying with Qt 5.12.2 right now.

on mobile platforms the native webview is displayed (over the QML content). No chance to intercept the requests, for security reasons.
As i said, QML is not involved and QQmlNetworkAccessManagerFactory is used for loading QML resources.

Your only chance would be on Desktop to use QWebEngineHttpRequest

thank you for the explanation.
