Retrieves the WebKitURIRequest object that backs the download process.

webkit_download_get_destination ()

const gchar *
webkit_download_get_destination (WebKitDownload *download);

Obtains the URI to which the downloaded file will be written. You can connect to “created-destination” to make sure this method returns a valid destination.

webkit_download_set_destination ()

To set the destination using the filename suggested by the server connect to “decide-destination” signal and call webkit_download_set_destination(). If you want to set a fixed destination URI that doesn't depend on the suggested filename you can connect to notify::response signal and call webkit_download_set_destination(). If “decide-destination” signal is not handled and destination URI is not set when the download transfer starts, the file will be saved with the filename suggested by the server in G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD directory.

webkit_download_get_response ()

WebKitURIResponse *
webkit_download_get_response (WebKitDownload *download);
