Yes, the network doesn't happen in the UI process, so there's no
SoupSession there. It can be either in the WebProcess when using the
single shared secondary process model, or in the NetworkProcess, when
using multiple secondary processes model.

We have tried to expose in the UI process API the most common feature
that required to use the SoupSession directly (HTTP auth, TLS
certificates handling, custom URI schemes, disk cache, etc.)

When using the shared secondary process model, you could use a web
process extension, but there's no API to get the SoupSession, and we
will not add it, because it's very likely that the NetworkProcess will
be unconditionally used eventually.

For the case of web timing you could use the JavaScript WebTiming API
(See
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webperf/raw-file/tip/specs/NavigationTiming/Overview.html). The Web Inspector also provides that information, but if you still need that data inside your application, you could write a web process extension and use the GObject DOM bindings to use the JavaScript API, see WebKitDOMPerformanceTiming.

If that's not enough, we can try to add the required things if you
provide more details of what you need.
