- List of all members, including inherited members

- accepted : bool
- proxyHost : string
- realm : string
- type : enumeration
- url : url

## Methods

- void dialogAccept(string username, string password)
- void dialogReject()

## Detailed Description

An AuthenticationDialogRequest is passed as an argument of the WebEngineView::authenticationDialogRequested signal. It is generated when basic HTTP or proxy authentication is required. The type of authentication can be checked with the type property.

The accepted property of the request indicates whether the request is handled by the user code or the default dialog should be displayed. If you set the accepted property to `true`, make sure to call either dialogAccept() or dialogReject() afterwards.

The following code uses a custom dialog to handle the request:

     WebEngineView {
         // ...
         onAuthenticationDialogRequested: function(request) {
             request.accepted = true;
             myDialog.request = request // keep the reference to the request
             myDialog.accept.connect(request.dialogAccept);
             myDialog.reject.connect(request.dialogReject);
             myDialog.visible = true;
         }
         // ...
     }

## Property Documentation

accepted : bool

Indicates whether the authentication dialog request has been accepted by the signal handler.

If the property is `false` after any signal handlers for WebEngineView::authenticationDialogRequested have been executed, a default authentication dialog will be shown. To prevent this, set `request.accepted` to `true`.

The default is `false`.

proxyHost : string `[read-only]`

The hostname of the authentication proxy. Empty if type is AuthenticationTypeHTTP.

realm : string `[read-only]`

The HTTP authentication realm attribute value of the `WWW-Authenticate` header. Empty if type is AuthenticationTypeProxy.

type : enumeration `[read-only]`

The type of the authentication request.

Constant | Description
--- | ---
`WebEngineAuthenticationDialogRequest.AuthenticationTypeHTTP` | HTTP authentication.
`WebEngineAuthenticationDialogRequest.AuthenticationTypeProxy` | Proxy authentication.

url : url `[read-only]`

The URL of the HTTP request for which authentication was requested. In case of proxy authentication, this is a request URL which is proxied via host.

See also proxyHost.
