However, because custom schemes are integrated directly into the web engine, they have the advantage in terms of efficiency and security: There is no need for generating and parsing HTTP messages or for transferring data over sockets, nor any way to intercept or monitor the traffic. To implement a custom URL scheme for QtWebEngine, you first have to create an instance of QWebEngineUrlScheme and register it using QWebEngineUrlScheme::registerScheme(). As custom schemes are integrated directly into the web engine, they do not necessarily need to follow the standard security rules which apply to ordinary web content. Depending on the chosen configuration, content served over a custom scheme may be given access to local resources, be set to ignore Content-Security-Policy rules, or conversely, be denied access to any other content entirely. If it is to be accessed by normal content, ensure cross-origin access is enabled, and if accessed from HTTPS that it is marked as secure. \note Make sure that you create and register the scheme object \e before the QGuiApplication or QApplication object is instantiated. Then you must create a class derived from QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler, and reimplement the requestStarted() method. Finally, install the scheme handler object via QWebEngineProfile::installUrlSchemeHandler() or QQuickWebEngineProfile::installUrlSchemeHandler(). \code class MySchemeHandler : public QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler { public: MySchemeHandler(QObject *parent = nullptr); void requestStarted(QWebEngineUrlRequestJob *job) { const QByteArray method = job->requestMethod(); const QUrl url = job->requestUrl(); if (isValidUrl(url)) { if (method == QByteArrayLiteral("GET")) { job->reply(QByteArrayLiteral("text/html"), makeReply(url)); else // Unsupported method job->fail(QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::RequestDenied); } else { // Invalid URL job->fail(QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::UrlNotFound); } } bool isValidUrl(const QUrl &url) const // .... QIODevice *makeReply(const QUrl &url) // .... }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { QWebEngineUrlScheme scheme("myscheme"); scheme.setSyntax(QWebEngineUrlScheme::Syntax::HostAndPort); scheme.setDefaultPort(2345); scheme.setFlags(QWebEngineUrlScheme::SecureScheme); QWebEngineUrlScheme::registerScheme(scheme); // ... QApplication app(argc, argv); // ... // installUrlSchemeHandler does not take ownership of the handler. MySchemeHandler *handler = new MySchemeHandler(parent); QWebEngineProfile::defaultProfile()->installUrlSchemeHandler("myscheme", handler); } \endcode \inmodule QtWebEngineCore \sa {QWebEngineUrlScheme} */ /*!
