WebUI 演示如何以安全方式实现自定义方案。

Aside from the built-in URL schemes, such as http and qrc , Qt WebEngine may be extended with custom schemes by creating custom scheme handlers . This example shows:

How to create a custom scheme handler which serves HTML and handles HTML form submissions.
How to prevent ordinary web content from accessing the custom scheme.
How to prevent any other scheme from submitting HTML form data.

概述

The example program consists of a single QWebEngineView showing a simple HTML page loaded from the URL webui:about , over our custom scheme. Pressing the button at the bottom of the page will trigger an HTML form submission via POST to the same URL, at which point our custom scheme handler will cause the application to exit.

The program is divided into two parts, the main function for setting everything up, and the WebUiHandler class for implementing our custom scheme handler. The main function is quite short:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication::setOrganizationName("QtExamples");
    QApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
    WebUiHandler::registerUrlScheme();
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWebEngineProfile profile;
    WebUiHandler handler;
    profile.installUrlSchemeHandler(WebUiHandler::schemeName, &handler);
    QWebEnginePage page(&profile);
    page.load(WebUiHandler::aboutUrl);
    QWebEngineView view;
    view.setPage(&page);
    view.setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::NoContextMenu);
    view.resize(500, 600);
    view.show();
    return app.exec();
}

Aside from the relatively standard setup of widgets, two points are noteworthy. First, we call the static method WebUiHandler::registerUrlScheme() to register our custom scheme with the web engine. Second, we create and install our custom scheme handler WebUiHandler 使用 installUrlSchemeHandler() . The following sections describe these aspects in more detail.

注册方案

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.

In order to take advantage of these possibilities, the custom scheme must first be registered. This means creating and configuring a QWebEngineUrlScheme object and then handing it over to QWebEngineUrlScheme::registerScheme (). The example program does exactly this in the static method WebUiHandler::registerUrlScheme() :

void WebUiHandler::registerUrlScheme()
{
    QWebEngineUrlScheme webUiScheme(schemeName);
    webUiScheme.setFlags(QWebEngineUrlScheme::SecureScheme |
                         QWebEngineUrlScheme::LocalScheme |
                         QWebEngineUrlScheme::LocalAccessAllowed);
    QWebEngineUrlScheme::registerScheme(webUiScheme);
}

A custom scheme needs a name, which can be set by passing it to the constructor of QWebEngineUrlScheme or by calling QWebEngineUrlScheme::setName . In the above, the name webui is set through the constructor. Additionally, we activate the flags SecureScheme , LocalScheme and LocalAccessAllowed . Since our custom scheme handler will not deliver resources received from insecure network connections, we can safely mark it as a SecureScheme 。 LocalScheme flag prevents content from non-local schemes (such as http ) from interacting with our custom scheme. Without this flag it would be possible, for example, to embed the webui:about page in an <iframe> element on a remotely loaded HTML page, perhaps to attempt a phishing attack. We also need the LocalAccessAllowed flag without which we would not be able to access the webui scheme from our webui:about 页面。

Earlier we saw that the call to WebUiHandler::registerUrlScheme() is made already at the top of the main function. This is so because custom schemes need to be registered as early as possible so that that they can be passed to all subprocesses. Specifically, custom schemes need to be registered before any other Qt WebEngine classes are instantiated by the application.

处理请求

A custom scheme handler is, broadly speaking, similar to a web application served over HTTP. However, because custom schemes are integrated directly into the web engine, they have the advantage in terms of efficiency: there's no need for generating and parsing HTTP messages or for transferring data over sockets.

Implementing a handler means creating a subclass of QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler , which is just what is done by the WebUiHandler class of the example program:

class WebUiHandler : public QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit WebUiHandler(QObject *parent = nullptr);
    void requestStarted(QWebEngineUrlRequestJob *job) override;
    static void registerUrlScheme();
    const static QByteArray schemeName;
    const static QUrl aboutUrl;
};

For each request to a webui URL, the WebUiHandler::requestStarted() method will be called:

void WebUiHandler::requestStarted(QWebEngineUrlRequestJob *job)
{
    static const QUrl webUiOrigin(QStringLiteral(SCHEMENAME ":"));
    static const QByteArray GET(QByteArrayLiteral("GET"));
    static const QByteArray POST(QByteArrayLiteral("POST"));
    QByteArray method = job->requestMethod();
    QUrl url = job->requestUrl();
    QUrl initiator = job->initiator();
    if (method == GET && url == aboutUrl) {
        QFile *file = new QFile(QStringLiteral(":/about.html"), job);
        file->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
        job->reply(QByteArrayLiteral("text/html"), file);
    } else if (method == POST && url == aboutUrl && initiator == webUiOrigin) {
        job->fail(QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::RequestAborted);
        QApplication::exit();
    } else {
        job->fail(QWebEngineUrlRequestJob::UrlNotFound);
    }
}

The QWebEngineUrlRequestJob 对象 job contains the request's attributes and provides methods for replying to the request with a response. Responses are generated asynchronously by reading them from the QIODevice that the application passes to reply() .

警告： The requestStarted() method is not called from the main thread, but from the web engine's IO thread. Care must be taken to synchronize access to any resources on the main thread.

Aside from the usual fare of requestMethod and requestUrl , there is also the initiator , holding the origin of the content which initiated the request. An empty initiator means the request was initiated directly by the application (via QWebEnginePage::setUrl (), for example). The special value "null" corresponds to an opaque origin (a sandboxed <iframe> element, for example). Otherwise, the initiator will contain the URL scheme, hostname, and port of the content which initiated the request.

在此范例中， initiator is used to ensure that POST requests to webui:about will only trigger the application's exit if they originate from the webui scheme. This prevents content loaded over other schemes from triggering the application's exit.
