WebView.connectPermissionRequest

Connect to PermissionRequest signal.

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:

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 [gobject.object.ObjectWrap.ref_] on the request argument and returning true to block the default signal handler. If the last reference is removed on a #WebKitPermissionRequest and the request has not been handled, [webkit.permission_request.PermissionRequest.deny] will be the default action.

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