Class: WebRequest

Intercept and modify the contents of a request at various stages of its lifetime.

Process: Main
This class is not exported from the 'electron' module. Ele é somente disponibilizado como um valor de retorno de outros métodos na API Electron.

Instances of the WebRequest class are accessed by using the webRequest property of a Session.

The methods of WebRequest accept an optional filter and a listener. The listener will be called with listener(details) when the API's event has happened. The details object describes the request.

⚠️ Only the last attached listener will be used. Passing null as listener will unsubscribe from the event.

The filter object has a urls property which is an Array of URL patterns that will be used to filter out the requests that do not match the URL patterns. If the filter is omitted then all requests will be matched.

For certain events the listener is passed with a callback, which should be called with a response object when listener has done its work.

An example of adding User-Agent header for requests:

const { session } = require('electron')

// Modify the user agent for all requests to the following urls.
const filter = {
  urls: ['https://*.github.com/*', '*://electron.github.io/*']
}

session.defaultSession.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders(filter, (details, callback) => {
  details.requestHeaders['User-Agent'] = 'MyAgent'
  callback({ requestHeaders: details.requestHeaders })
})

Métodos de Instância

The following methods are available on instances of WebRequest:

`webRequest.onBeforeRequest([filter, ]listener)`

listener Function | null
- Objeto details
  - id Inteiro
  - string url
  - method string
  - webContentsId Integer (opcional)
  - webContents WebContents (optional)
  - frame WebFrameMain | null (optional) - Requesting frame. May be null if accessed after the frame has either navigated or been destroyed.
