\section1 Proxy Support
- Qt WebEngine uses the proxy settings from \l{Qt Network}. If
- QNetworkProxy::applicationProxy is set, it will also be used for Qt WebEngine, and if
- QNetworkProxyFactory::usesSystemConfiguration() is enabled, the proxy settings are automatically
- retrieved from the system. Settings from an installed QNetworkProxyFactory will be ignored
- though.
+ Qt WebEngine uses the proxy settings from \l{Qt Network}, and forwards them to Chromium's
+ networking stack. If QNetworkProxy::applicationProxy is set, it will also be used for Qt
+ WebEngine. If QNetworkProxyFactory::usesSystemConfiguration() is enabled, the proxy settings
+ are automatically retrieved from the system. Settings from an installed QNetworkProxyFactory
+ will be ignored, though.
+
+ Not all properties of QNetworkProxy are supported by Qt WebEngine. That is,
+ QNetworkProxy::type(), QNetworkProxy::hostName() and QNetworkProxy::port() are taken into
+ account. All other proxy settings such as QNetworkProxy::rawHeader(), QNetworkProxy::user(), or
+ QNetworkProxy::password() are ignored.
If a proxy requires authentication, QWebEnginePage::proxyAuthenticationRequired is emitted.
For Qt Quick, a dialog is shown.
