You can connect to the WebView's signal 'resource-request-starting'
[1]. In the callback you can tell webkit to either ignore the request
by setting the URI to 'about:blank' or you can swap in your custom
content by using a data URL 'data:data-goes-here'. I haven't tested
this last option but I saw it on the internet so it must be true :)
