           Summary: [Qt] Extend QQuickWebview::navigationRequested API
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit API
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: hausmann at webkit.org

The NavigationRequest object provided as argument to QQuickWebView::navigationRequested provides the following properties:

    QUrl url (read-only)
    int button (read-only)
    int modifiers (read-only)
    int action (to be set)

On the WK2 C API level we get additional parameters:

    The frame the request belongs to
    The page the frame belongs to
    The navigation type

We should consider extending our API to at least expose the url of the frame requesting. This and perhaps other properties
may be essential in the decision making of the application about whether to accept or ignore the request.


While we're at it: The QQuickWebView::NavigationRequestAction enum (correspond go the action property) contains Accept, Ignore
as well as Download as values. Given that we do not intend to expose the download API initially, perhaps we should hide "Download"
from the public API (and make it only visible in experimental perhaps, i.e. you write request.action = WebView.experimental.DownloadRequest).
