Replacing NetworkAccessManager features

I'm porting my (Python/PyQt) QtWebKit application to QtWebEngine. I used to do some things using the QNetworkAccessManager, but now that this is gone I can't find equivalents in QWebView or QWebPage.
Specifically:
-
How do I set the proxy server and port?
-
How do I handle certificate errors?
-
How do I handle unsupported content (file downloads, e.g.)?
Any help with these questions would be very appreciated.

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.
