WebContext

Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "webkit_web_context_get_type ()" ) ]
public sealed class WebContext : Object

Manages aspects common to all WebViews

The WebContext manages all aspects common to all WebView s.

You can define the CacheModel with set_cache_model, depending on the needs of your application. You can access the SecurityManager to specify the behaviour of your application regarding security using get_security_manager .

It is also possible to change your preferred language or enable spell checking, using set_preferred_languages, set_spell_checking_languages and set_spell_checking_enabled.

You can use register_uri_scheme to register custom URI schemes, and manage several other settings.

TLS certificate validation failure is now treated as a transport error by default. To handle TLS failures differently, you can connect to load_failed_with_tls_errors. Alternatively, you can use webkit_web_context_set_tls_errors_policy to set the policy webkit_tls_errors_policy_ignore; however, this is not appropriate for Internet applications.
