How to ignore SSL certificate errors with QWebEngineView

Question

How can I ignore and enable/disable SSL certificate errors through C++ in QWebEngineView? I found that QWebEnginePage has the virtual method certificateError but it is not accessible through QWebEngineView?

Answer 1

My solution now is to derive from QWebEnginePage, overwrite the method certificateError and pass an instance of the derived class to QWebEngineView with a call of setPage. Here is an example if someone is interested.

webpage.h

#ifndef WEBPAGE_H
#define WEBPAGE_H

#include <QWebEnginePage>

class WebPage : public QWebEnginePage
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit WebPage(QWidget *parent = 0);

protected:
    bool certificateError(const QWebEngineCertificateError &error) override;
};

#endif // WEBPAGE_H

webpage.cpp

#include "webpage.h"

WebPage::WebPage(QWidget *parent) :
    QWebEnginePage(parent)
{
}

bool WebPage::certificateError(const QWebEngineCertificateError &error)
{
    // TODO: conditional treatment
    return error.isOverridable();
}

Usage:

auto webView = new QWebEngineView(this);
auto webPage = new WebPage(this);
webView->setPage(webPage);
