Set a custom User-Agent for QWebEngine (in PyQt5)

[Harborman]

I read a couple of questions on how to set a custom user-agent for your browser, but couldn't make it work.
Mainly I followed these steps:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5317924/how-do-i-set-the-user-agent-for-a-qnetworkrequest-in-pyqtwebkit
https://pastebin.com/m1b350244
and subclassed QWebEnginePage with a userAgentForUrl function as they instructed. My Apache server has been rigged to let you pass only if your user-agent is "Ree", but I get a 403 Forbidden error, so I think this code doesn't send the user-agent:

from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import *

USER_AGENT = "Ree"

class WebPage(QWebEnginePage):
    def __init__(self):
        super(QWebEnginePage, self).__init__()

    def userAgentForUrl(self, url):
        return USER_AGENT

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
        self.resize(1024, 800)

        widget = QWidget()
        self.setCentralWidget(widget)

        self.webview = QWebEngineView(self)
        self.page = WebPage()
        self.webview.setPage(self.page)

        vbox = QVBoxLayout()
        vbox.addWidget(self.webview)
        widget.setLayout(vbox)

    def loadUrl(self, url):
        self.webview.load(QUrl(url))
        self.webview.show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    window.loadUrl("http://127.0.0.1")
    window.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Does it have something to do with the fact that userAgentForUrl function takes a url but it doesn't receive one?

@Harborman userAgentForUrl is for QWebPage from QtWebkit, for QtWebEngine you must use QWebEngineProfile::setHttpUserAgent():

import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication

if __name__ == "__main__":

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    web = QWebEngineView()
    web.page().profile().setHttpUserAgent("Ree")
    web.load(QUrl("http://127.0.0.1"))
    web.show()
    web.resize(640, 480)
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

@eyllanesc Thank you friend, that works. This question is solved. I also found the "code" button so I won't paste code here without indents in the future :-).
