Global functions

Global functions — Global functions controlling WebKit

Description

WebKit manages many resources which are not related to specific views. These functions relate to cross-view limits, such as cache sizes, database quotas, and the HTTP session management.

Functions

webkit_get_default_session ()

SoupSession *
webkit_get_default_session (void);

Retrieves the default SoupSession used by all web views. Note that the session features are added by WebKit on demand, so if you insert your own SoupCookieJar before any network traffic occurs, WebKit will use it instead of the default.

Returns

the default SoupSession.

[transfer none]

Since: 1.1.1


webkit_get_default_web_database_quota ()

guint64
webkit_get_default_web_database_quota (void);

Returns the default quota for Web Database databases. By default this value is 5MB.

const gchar *
webkit_get_web_database_directory_path
                               (void);

Returns the current path to the directory WebKit will write Web Database and Indexed Database databases. By default this path will be in the user data directory.

Returns

the current database directory path in the filesystem encoding

Since: 1.1.14


webkit_get_web_plugin_database ()

WebKitWebPluginDatabase *
webkit_get_web_plugin_database (void);

Returns the current WebKitWebPluginDatabase with information about all the plugins WebKit knows about in this instance.

Returns

the current WebKitWebPluginDatabase.

[transfer none]

void
webkit_set_default_web_database_quota (guint64 defaultQuota);

Sets the default quota for Web Database databases.

Parameters

defaultQuota

the new default database quota

Since: 1.5.1


webkit_set_text_checker ()

void
webkit_set_text_checker (GObject *checker);

webkit_get_cache_model ()

WebKitCacheModel
webkit_get_cache_model (void);

Returns the current cache model. For more information about this value check the documentation of the function webkit_set_cache_model().

Returns

the current WebKitCacheModel

Since: 1.1.18


webkit_set_cache_model ()

void
webkit_set_cache_model (WebKitCacheModel cache_model);

Specifies a usage model for WebViews, which WebKit will use to determine its caching behavior. All web views follow the cache model. This cache model determines the RAM and disk space to use for caching previously viewed content .

Research indicates that users tend to browse within clusters of documents that hold resources in common, and to revisit previously visited documents. WebKit and the frameworks below it include built-in caches that take advantage of these patterns, substantially improving document load speed in browsing situations. The WebKit cache model controls the behaviors of all of these caches, including various WebCore caches.

Browsers can improve document load speed substantially by specifying WEBKIT_CACHE_MODEL_WEB_BROWSER. Applications without a browsing interface can reduce memory usage substantially by specifying WEBKIT_CACHE_MODEL_DOCUMENT_VIEWER. Default value is WEBKIT_CACHE_MODEL_WEB_BROWSER.

Parameters

cache_model

a WebKitCacheModel

 

Since: 1.1.18


webkit_context_menu_item_get_action ()

WebKitContextMenuAction
webkit_context_menu_item_get_action (GtkMenuItem *item);

Returns the WebKitContextMenuAction of the given item . This function can be used to determine the items present in the default context menu. In order to inspect the default context menu, you should connect to “context-menu” signal.

Example 1. Inspecting the default context menu
