Limit browsing inside domain

SteMMo

Hello all,
I'm developing a kiosk machine and I need to navigate on a local page and eventually a defined domain. I'd like to write a simple Qt app with WebKit module.

Is it possible with WebKit and related to limit browsing and achieve what I need?
Thanks!

If you want to stick with QtWebKit you may have to wait for @Konstantin-Tokarev to read this. Are you aware of QtWebEngine, https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-index.html, which is what Qt > 5.5 now ships with out-of-the-box?

I need to check on the board to understand which Qt version is supported ..

SteMMo

On my board I have the Qt 5.7.1
I've developed a very simple application based on QtWebEngine: this is developed on Windows (5.9.9) and moved + compiled on 5.7.1 - It is ruuning !
Now I'd like to control the navigation ..

I'm not an expert, but what about QWebEnginePage::acceptNavigationRequest ? You can examine the URL and accept/reject it, according to your criteria.

@SteMMo said in Limit browsing inside domain:

eventually a defined domain.

If the domain is predefined beforehand, why would you let the users type it or anything else?

I'd just provide a way for them to select such predefined domain via a link/button/etc. pointing to such location

@Pablo-J-Rogina I need to explain:
the kiosk needs to show two kind of pages:

a registration form
a public web site that contains some links that bring the normal user out of the portal, but not the user in front of the kiosk.

@JonB now the browser is a QML object so I have the WebEngineView object; I don't know how to access to QWebEnginePage object ..
