WebResource#

class WebResource(**properties: Any)#

Superclasses: Object

Represents a resource at the end of a URI.

A WebResource encapsulates content for each resource at the end of a particular URI. For example, one WebResource will be created for each separate image and stylesheet when a page is loaded.

You can access the response and the URI for a given WebResource, using get_uri() and get_response(), as well as the raw data, using get_data().

Methods#

class WebResource
get_data(cancellable: Cancellable | None = None, callback: Callable[[Object | None, AsyncResult, Any], None] | None = None, user_data: Any = None) → None#

Asynchronously get the raw data for resource.

When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call get_data_finish() to get the result of the operation.

Parameters:

  • cancellable – a Cancellable or None to ignore

  • callback – a AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied

  • user_data – the data to pass to callback function

get_data_finish(result: AsyncResult) → list[int]#

Finish an asynchronous operation started with get_data().

Parameters:

result – a AsyncResult

get_response() → URIResponse#

Retrieves the URIResponse of the resource load operation.

This method returns None if called before the response is received from the server. You can connect to notify::response signal to be notified when the response is received.

get_uri() → str#

Returns the current active URI of resource.

The active URI might change during a load operation:

<orderedlist> <listitem><para>

When the resource load starts, the active URI is the requested URI

</para></listitem> <listitem><para>

When the initial request is sent to the server, WebResource::sent-request signal is emitted without a redirected response, the active URI is the URI of the request sent to the server.

</para></listitem> <listitem><para>

In case of a server redirection, WebResource::sent-request signal is emitted again with a redirected response, the active URI is the URI the request was redirected to.

</para></listitem> <listitem><para>

When the response is received from the server, the active URI is the final one and it will not change again.

</para></listitem> </orderedlist>

You can monitor the active URI by connecting to the notify::uri signal of resource.
