## Description

WebKitDownload carries information about a download request, including a WebKitNetworkRequest object. The application may use this object to control the download process, or to simply figure out what is to be downloaded, and do it itself.

## Details

### enum WebKitDownloadError

    typedef enum {
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_ERROR_CANCELLED_BY_USER,
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_ERROR_DESTINATION,
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_ERROR_NETWORK
    } WebKitDownloadError;

Enum values used to denote the various download errors.

`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_ERROR_CANCELLED_BY_USER` | The download failed due to user cancellation.
`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_ERROR_DESTINATION` | The download failed due to disk write failure.
`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_ERROR_NETWORK` | The download failed due to a network error.

### enum WebKitDownloadStatus

    typedef enum {
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_ERROR = -1,
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_CREATED = 0,
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_STARTED,
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_CANCELLED,
        WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_FINISHED
    } WebKitDownloadStatus;

Enum values used to denote the various states of a download.

`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_ERROR` | The download failed because of an error other than user cancellation.
`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_CREATED` | The download has not started yet.
`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_STARTED` | The download has started, but has not completed yet.
`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_CANCELLED` | The user canceled the download.
`WEBKIT_DOWNLOAD_STATUS_FINISHED` | The download completed successfully.

### WebKitDownload

    typedef struct _WebKitDownload WebKitDownload;

### webkit_download_cancel ()

    void                webkit_download_cancel              (WebKitDownload *download);

Cancels the download. Calling this will not free the WebKitDownload object, so you still need to call `g_object_unref()` on it, if you are the owner of a reference. Notice that cancelling the download provokes the emission of the WebKitDownload::error signal, reporting that the download was cancelled.

`download` : | the WebKitDownload

Since 1.1.2

### webkit_download_get_current_size ()

    guint64             webkit_download_get_current_size    (WebKitDownload *download);

Current already downloaded size.

`download` : | the WebKitDownload
Returns : | the already downloaded size

Since 1.1.2

### webkit_download_get_destination_uri ()

    const gchar *       webkit_download_get_destination_uri (WebKitDownload *download);

Obtains the URI to which the downloaded file will be written. This must have been set by the application before calling `webkit_download_start()`, and may be `NULL`.

`download` : | the WebKitDownload
Returns : | the destination URI or `NULL`

Since 1.1.2

### webkit_download_get_elapsed_time ()

    gdouble             webkit_download_get_elapsed_time    (WebKitDownload *download);

Elapsed time for the download in seconds, including any fractional part. If the download is finished, had an error or was cancelled this is the time between its start and the event.

Returns : | seconds since the download was started, as a gdouble

Since 1.1.2

### webkit_download_get_network_request ()

    WebKitNetworkRequest * webkit_download_get_network_request

Retrieves the WebKitNetworkRequest object that backs the download process.

`download` : | the WebKitDownload
Returns : | the WebKitNetworkRequest instance. [transfer none]

Since 1.1.2

### webkit_download_get_network_response ()

    WebKitNetworkResponse * webkit_download_get_network_response

### webkit_download_get_status ()

    WebKitDownloadStatus webkit_download_get_status         (WebKitDownload *download);

Obtains the current status of the download, as a WebKitDownloadStatus.

`download` : | the WebKitDownload
Returns : | the current WebKitDownloadStatus

Since 1.1.2

### webkit_download_get_suggested_filename ()

    const gchar *       webkit_download_get_suggested_filename
                                                            (WebKitDownload *download);
