Some Websites not load in QWebViewEngine QT 5.12.0

AmrCoder

Hello,

Iam using QT 5.12.0 with Visual Studio 2017 32 bit, I want to view the WhatsApp website which is here, inside the QT webview engine, but I got this message,

WhatsApp works with Google Chrome 36+
To use WhatsApp, update Chrome or use Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge orOpera.
UPDATE GOOGLE CHROME

so is there any solution to make this work? such as updating the current chromium or any other solution?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you're looking for QWebEngineProfile::setHttpUserAgent

AmrCoder

can you give me an example of how to use it? I already checked my current User Agent and it's

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/5.12.0 Chrome/69.0.3497.128 Safari/537.36"

what should i set it to? I found a website here have some user Agent which one should I use to work?
also I tried to use it in this way i don't no if it's correct and will active user agent on all the pages or not

in the constructor of the main window i do this

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    QWebEnginePage *page = ui->widget->page();
    qDebug() << page->profile()->httpUserAgent();
page->profile()->sethttpuserAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.80 Safari/537.36");
    connect(ui->widget, SIGNAL(loadProgress(int)), this, SLOT(LoadProgress(int)));
}
