how to get response body in webkitgtk?

Question

I tried to handle the webview resource_load_started and webresource finished signals to get the response body, but I ran into trouble.

Here are my python codes:

import gi

gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0')
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")

from gi.repository import WebKit2, Gtk

window = Gtk.Window()
window.connect('delete-event', Gtk.main_quit)

view = WebKit2.WebView()
view.load_uri('https://yandex.com/')

def resorce_load_finished(resource):
    raw_data = resource.get_data(cancellable=None, callback=None, user_data=None)
    print("url: ", resource.get_response().get_uri(), "data_length: ", resource.get_response().get_content_length(), "\r\nraw_data: ", raw_data)

def resorce_load_started(view, resource, request):
    resource.connect("finished", resorce_load_finished)

view.connect("resource_load_started", resorce_load_started)

window.add(view)
window.set_default_size(1024,1024)
window.show_all()

Gtk.main()

And the output as follow(https prefix removed):

Process finished with exit code 0

My question is do I use correct signal handler? If used correctly, then, Why resource.get_data() always return None, what happen there? I can only get the response URL and its length.

must be call get_data_finish to get final result. something like this:

def res_finished(resource, result, error):
    data = resource.get_data_finish(result)
    print(resource.get_uri(), data)

def received_data(resource, data_length):
    resource.get_data(cancellable=None, callback=res_finished, user_data=None)

def resource_load_started(view, resource, request):
    resource.connect("received_data", received_data)

view.connect("resource_load_started", resource_load_started)
