Where's this callback connected? We don't have any download-requested
signal in WebKitWebView. It seems to me you are mixing the WebKit1 and
WebKit2 APIs somehow, because in WebKit1 there's download-requested
signal in WebKitWebView.
In WebKit2, downloads are handled by the WebKitWebContext. There's
WebKitWebContext::download-started signal that is emitted every time a
new download is started either by the policy checker
(webkit_policy_decision_download) or by the API. You can start a
download manually with webkit_web_context_download_uri() that returns
the WebKitDownload object.
