permission_request

This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide about a permission request, such as allowing the browser to switch to fullscreen mode, sharing its location or similar operations.

A possible way to use this signal could be through a dialog allowing the user decide what to do with the request:

```c static gboolean permission_request_cb (WebKitWebView *web_view, WebKitPermissionRequest *request, GtkWindow *parent_window) { GtkWidget *dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (parent_window, GTK_DIALOG_MODAL, GTK_MESSAGE_QUESTION, GTK_BUTTONS_YES_NO, "Allow Permission Request?"); gtk_widget_show (dialog); gint result = gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));

switch (result) { case GTK_RESPONSE_YES: webkit_permission_request_allow (request); break; default: webkit_permission_request_deny ( request); break; } gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);

return TRUE; } ```

It is possible to handle permission requests asynchronously, by simply calling @ref on the request argument and returning true to block the default signal handler. If the last reference is removed on a PermissionRequest and the request has not been handled, deny will be the default action.

If the signal is not handled, the request will be completed automatically by the specific PermissionRequest that could allow or deny it. Check the documentation of classes implementing PermissionRequest interface to know their default action.

Parameters:

request

the PermissionRequest

Returns:

true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.
