I am connected to a seperate Web server implemented in java that basically handles all the requests we send through a webview.
At the moment i am using gmail to test if i can send the login/authentication request to our webserver and let our web server pass this request to google or whoever and get the response and sends it back to the client. With current api's i cant see how i can intercept all http requests made inside a webview, only cat intercept URL hyperlink calls made by a user interacting with a website. Not all interactions in a website are standard URL hyperlinks, some run JS etc so android's current webview API cant intercept this. It can in theory intercept the resources loaded but that only gives me a URL and a webview. It doesnt give me the headers that were used in the request, request body? request type etc. These are the variables i will need to pass to our web server who will use all these to login and authenticate us.
